I haven't done a 5K in 20 years. I think I'm ready for tomorrow. My question is, should I run today or do something different? I sort of want to save my energy for tomorrow...what do you guys do? Thank you.

It was awesome, thank you. I'm still waiting for the official results to be posted online. The 5K started 10 mins after the 10K. The clock said 43 mins when I finished. My goal was to finish in under 35 minutes so I think I did. :) Thank you for asking xoxo

I grew up in Winchester, MA but moved to GA after my husband passed away to be closer to my parents. I still travel to Boston every 2-3 weeks for work, so I get to visit home a lot :)

Thank you! Would you believe they still haven't posted the race results?? Still battling a computer glitch. What a bummer for my first 5K in nearly 20 years. Aggravating!!
