    No, it's rest time ahead of the race.
    The atmosphere of the event should see you thru those extra couple of miles just fine - just don't start out too quickly off the line.

    Good luck.

    Good luck in the race!

    Friends I did my first 10k in 1:01:19. I was hoping for 1 hr so this is pretty close. I slowed down around both water stations so that maybe cost few mins here and there. Thank u again for your tips. I decided to not run at all last 2-3 days and I seemed to have conserved my energy. It was great. I am looking forward to my half now. Any tips? I welcome suggestions. What should be my time goal and when should I target( currently thinking in 6 months). Thank u!!

    Awesome job!!! Way to go!!!

    I'll be looking to steal any tips you get. I'm making the jump from 5k and running my first half in March.

    Although McMillan says a 2:17 is predicted based on your 10k time, your first should aim for completion rather than a time. Build your base mileage for now, and start a modest beginner training plan 12-16 weeks out from your goal. Best of luck.
