With just 66 days left I'm starting to get butterfly's. Yet I know that's just due to this being my first race. I finally worked out my run days, and my walk days. I've been trying the zombie run 5k app. One I'm afraid of zombies (fear of being warring alive) two that game can make you paranoid. However I like the fact that it keeps me entertained while I run.

Sign in to CommentThat first race is going to be so much fun, I envy you, Jackie! Until then, follow your plan and don't overtrain. And don't go run 3 miles the day before the race because you are worried you can't do the distance - I did that before my first race and was so sore on race day I barely finished! So similar to kwogni's comment :-)
You can do it Jackie..take it one day at at time. Whatever you do just keep moving!
Let go of all your worries and stick with the plan. When race day comes, use the Nike motto: "Just do it!". I can relate as this is exactly how I felt preparing for my first race. What happened? I was so worked up that I had a terrible finish time, worse than my prep runs. After that valuable lesson, I learned that it's best to train properly beforehand, show up on race day, and then run it. It's that simple. Don't worry - you'll do fine as long as you don't overthink it!
