tomorrow i will be taking part on a race. it is my very first time to ever join one. this will be very special for me. plus the funds gathered for this race are for the whale sharks in our country. very interesting... my event is for 5km. another reason why i am joining this, i am trying to be healthy and fit. i have been jogging for almost a month now after my work at the office. so far, i feel more energetic (",)

How did the race go?
If I were around here 6 months ago I would have suggested you start at the tail and start at an even pace, one you can maintain through the 5K. Being that you had only been running for a month I don't think racing for speed was the best advice for a beginner. It's a good way to get hurt.
Run the first race to get accustomed to the atmosphere, soak up the energy, and enjoy the sport; set your pace and then you know what to aim for in your second race.
