Any Fitness Pal members running in the 5K race in Plantation this Saturday? A little motivation needed on my part. I'm hoping to break the 31-minute mark but a partner to keep me slow at first and steady to the end would be great.

    Get a Garmin, or other runners watch, run at a 10 minute mile pace, kicking in the last half mile.

    Before GPS, I used to race with a sports watch and my target times to each mile marker written on my forearm with a Sharpie. I'd check my time on the stopwatch at the markers and adjust pace accordingly. A 10 min/mi pace makes the math easy though.

    Good luck! Let us know how you do.
