Signed up for my first 5K Run

[themoneycollector]

Congrats, I recently ran a 5K about a month ago. I wasn't really competing, I was only there as moral support for my wifey. I just went in cold without any training or practice runs at all. I'm not in shape whatsoever, but really good at pushing myself when there's competition.

I jogged the first 1/3, mixed walk/jog the 2/3, and walked the last 1/3. One thing that messed me up was they had markers along the way that said "1", "2", "3". I jogged to the "1" and figured that was 1km instead of 1 mile. So psychologically I was giving up by the time I was at the "2" since I thought that was 2km's instead of 2 miles (had I known I was nearly done at that point, I would have jogged the last mile+).

Next time, if I don't get practice time beforehand, I'd like to walk it with a cigar in hand and cup of scotch or rum. LOL
