AW: Wish me luck!

I picked up my race packet today. Guess it's a done deal! I will be running my first 5K tomorrow, even though I've never gotten even anywhere close to that distance while training. I took a 2 mile walk with the dog and explored around the lake a bit today to keep my legs fresh but I'm a bit nervous Tongue Tied

I guess it's kind of hard to fail at walking/running, so I'll just go with that.

  • I think it's great you signed up!  Run as long as you can and don't stress yourself out.  Think of this as your trainer 5k...you get to see what it's like, watch other runners, and build some confidence for the next one!  Good luck!

  • I'm running too! I'm forcing my H and parents to run with me too. Smile It's going to be SO COLD. I bought long under armor to wear under my clothes and a hat that covers my mouth and nose. I'm just going to look like eye balls bobbing by....

    I finished my last 5K in about 35:00. Pitiful. Hopefully I can beat that this time, but with the wickedly cold weather... who knows!

    I'm just hoping to not take an hour ;) The cold weather might get me moving if there's a promise of a hot shower and cocoa at the end.

  • Just think of the turkey dinner you can eat afterwards! Good luck!
  • Good luck! I shudder just thinking about running that far.

  • How did it go? It was quite chilly yesterday morning!

  • Yeah, it was!

    I finished with a time of 45:47, so a little more than a 14.5 minute mile. I have an aggravated groin so I'm taking it easy. That was a new thing--I think it was the hills on 4th street that I didn't think about! I haven't trained for hills, not even small ones as my neighborhood is extremely flat.

    However, despite the cold and new slight injuries, I ran far more than I walked. I really only walked a few blocks out of the whole thing, now that I think about it. I really pushed myself to keep putting my feet out there and I am proud of myself for finishing. I was even running at the finish Surprise

    My race pictures are a whole 'nother story. Oh hell no.
