Most important is to have fun this weekend. I enjoy running despite not fitting the mold either. Actually, I’m working through a bout of runner’s knee which is a result of my frame and running mechanics. Regardless, you shouldn’t be intimidated by the other runners. Running is not a collective sport per se. It very individually focused and runners concentrate on what they need to do to run a good race. If they’re too busy looking around or commenting on what someone does or doesn’t do, they’ll lose focus. So don’t worry and hope you fun. Good luck!

Thanks,
Chris

I was a basketball and lacrosse player all throughout my childhood but I stopped playing after my freshman year in college. I continued to go to the gym but I got the itch for something more, something to work towards, so I started running… Running on a field or a court, sprints, is definitely not the same as distance! I doubted myself for a while but once I got into the groove and accepted that I just had to finish the race, not always win, I fell in love with it :)

I was woried that I’d never be able to do this because other people run so much faster than me and it tkes me 12-15 minutes to hit a mile. You made me feel so much better about this. Now I’m wondering if I shpuld work on running longer (as in amount of time) instead of running for only a short time but faster. Any advice.

You’re going to do great and you have such a wonderful attitude about it. Good luck!
