          The funny thing about this race is it is called the "Flying Pig" since here in Cincinnati we are known as Porkopolis.

              good for you. I remember my first 5K after starting Atkins just don't get caught up in the keeping up with the others and make sure you go at your normal pace.

                  Good luck, I hope you enjoy it. I am sure you will.

                  Best bit of advice came from 2big. Be sure to run at your own pace. Its so easy to get carried away with the moment and start off to quickly, just to keep up with others. Find a steady pace and stick to it, you will be fine.

                    I ran the Flying Pig Half Marathon last year. Excellent organization down there.

                      Thanks all! I'm really going to take the advice of pacing myself. I tend to be over competitive. Maybe I'll hook up with a fast one and jump on there back when I need a break . I should get a good time that way. LOL.

                        Well I did it!! I ran this past Saturdaythe 5k and my time was 36:24 minutes. I couldn't believe it. It was so motivating to do more races. My DH was laughing at me cause I told him I started to cry when the race started - yeah it's only 3.2 miles, but I challenged myself and won (my own race in my head). I can't wait until the next one. It's amazing how you challenge your body and get such emotional gratification out of it. Thanks to everyone for their support

                          Congrats on finishing your first event. I am pleased for you, dont worry about what DH thinks about you crying, I think you did really well.
