I am running my first 5k this coming Saturday in Richmond, Virginia. The weather will be 60 by mid day but probably 40 at 9 am when the race starts. I have done all my training on the treadmill as it has been a cold winter. I can run up to 5 miles straight on the treadmill now so I think I can manage a 5k and the worst that will happen is walk some. I am so excited but also so nervous. I have read all the blog posts, magazine articles, active.com tips, etc. I am hoping for real time tips from real runners. Also any ideas on how to dress for a rather chilly morning run. Thank you
