Hi everyone, I just signed up to run my first race...a 5 miler, on Thanksgiving morning....I am very excited and very nervous, does anyone have any good tips or ideas for keeping my nerves in check?

    I ran my first 5k last Thanksgiving. Just remember it doesnt matter what your time is and just have fun with it. I didnt go into thinking I was going to win, just being able to run the whole time and finish made me a winner in my mind. And just think of it that when you finish it you know you earned that Thanksgiving dinner! :o)

    I also ran my first 5K a few weeks ago. There is no reason to be nervous as long as you train and run at least five miles or more several times before the race so you know you can do it!
