Start to Finish Step 3: Set goal!

Your Goal:  Sign up for a race!

If you are reading this, then you obviously have a little bit of an interest in running.  You might be feeling a bit scared, maybe intimated, overwhelmed, and insecure.  Banish those thoughts.  You got this!!!

Take a few minutes and search local races in your area.  I suggest that you find a 5K that will be in about 6-8 weeks from today.   Many towns have "Fun Runs" that are really laid back.  It's a great way to meet people and make running buddies.

This first race is going to be 100% for fun.  I know what you're thinking- FUN RUN is an oxymoron, right?!?!  This is where you will need to change your mind set.  Set yourself up for success, not failure.  Set out to have fun.  Plus, if you have never done a race before, you will for sure be setting your 1st PR (personal record) at this run .

Now- sign up for your 5K!!!  Right now!   Don't wait until you have started running.  This run will be your goal.  It's what you will be working on for the next 6-8 weeks.  The Law Day Fun Run is on May 3, so this is what will be the Start to Finish Running Group's goal.
