Linnea's Lessons Learned at Her First 5k Race

>> Saturday, March 15, 2008

  • Leave your car keys with someone at the finish line, or you might have to run the course a second time to find them.
  • You should not only break your shoes in, but your socks as well.
  • Check the elevation map before running it so you won’t be surprised with a 300 ft straight up incline in mile 2.
  • Corporate sponsorship is worth it.
  • A fruit rollup is not breakfast
  • A high performance swimsuit works better than a sport bra to keep floppy parts from flopping.
  • Having people you love at the finish line makes you feel fabulous!
  • Runner’s High??? When does that kick in? Does it really exist?
  • You can cut 15 minutes off your time on the day of the race!
  • Running one may lead to wanting to run more.
