How to run my first 5k by cdizzy

"You will have a great time."

How I did it: I trained for about 9 weeks with a local running group.  I mixed in some strength training (Chalean Extreme) & cardio (Insanity & Turbo Fire).  The day before, I ate some carbs and had early morning breakfast oatmeal and blueberries.

Lessons & tips: Go at your own pace.  I started out walking/jogging and eventually worked up to a good pace where I wasn't huffing and puffing.

Resources: Look up local groups at Snails Pace or Road Runners.
