UPDATE------

I finished in 38 min....it was 84 and dew point in 70's! Its my 2nd 5k ever and did first one in 41 min (I am a slow turtle!

. I did Jeff Galloway 30:30 intervals. I passed people at end that passed me in the first mile. Everyone was feeling it....some people looked terrible as my husband was watching.

I dumped water over my head at all of the stations, ran with my handheld Nathan (love!)

So technically a PR!

Thanks for the encouragement!

////////////////

This is my 2nd race---a 5k and I'm scared. It will be 85 and humidity of about 70% at the 6:30 PM start.

One part of me wants to bail (but I'll miss out on the bling)
The other part of me wants to do it but just walk (I am new so running in humidity is not something I normally do--in fact I usually run at 6:30 AM most days.)

Should I suck it up or stay home? The race is 35 minutes away.

ETA I wanted to improve my time that's why walking is not high on my agenda (therefore I'll be slower than my first race but I guess I realize not all races are equal.

Take your own water and take it easy. It'll be okay.

Just take it slow, you will survive.

I need to remember this on Tuesday if it is hot and humid during my 5k! I know I will want to give up.

If there is water stops dump one on your head. That's the best way I find relief in the heat and humidity. Best of luck.

I just saw your sig and we ran the same race. It was brutal but I loved that the residents were out with their hoses to cool us off.

sweetiesparkles - Congrats on the PR!
