My first 5k is Oct. 27th. and I'm pretty stoked! Just wondering if any of you went to scope out the route of your first 5k or did you just show up and treat it as any other training day, settle in, and do your thing?

    I might be a big dork, but I looked up my 5k route ahead of time. I actually ran that route every time did C25K. I ended up knowing the best route to take to miss the bumps in the road, and where the hills were. I think it helped a lot to check it out ahead.

    Thanks for responding! I just wonder, for myself, if knowing in my mind where the end is will have my body wanting to shut down before I get there.

    My first 5k is on Saturday. On Thursday I plan on giving it a run through.

    If it were an option for the ones I'd been to I would SO do it! :) Mine were far away though, each over an hour away.
