This Sunday I'm running my first 10k race... (did one last year but that was for charity, too many people who walked it so couldn't run til 6k marker... doesn't count!) So far this year, did a 2 mile and a 5k.

So - any last minute tips??? Starting to get nervous a little! :ohwell:

    Don't do anything different on race day! And don't line up near the front unless you are trying to win!

    Step 1. Finish

    Step 2. Celebrate with beer

    Haha, thanks guys. Celebrating will definitely be done once I have some sort of breath back.

    The faster your car, the better you will do.

    Ha! Thank you, most helpful.

    Went okay - did it in 67 mins 46 sec - tried to pace myself because I wasn't sure I'd finish otherwise and hindsight is always 20/20 I could've done it faster. Next time! :D
