Race results - Unlimited Performance 5K (my first)

Thanks to everyone who was 'rooting for me' to finish my first ever 5K this past Saturday morning.

I did finish, with minimal walking. I crossed the finish line at 36 minutes flat. Not a fast time by any means, but I thought pretty respectable for my first time out. I am considering doing the 10K associated with Pumpkin Fest in Sycamore in late October. Any thoughts on training up to that distance?

Thanks!

Does anyone have some suggestions for a first time 5K runner?

I am 44, and will be running my first ever race (5K) in Dekalb, IL on June 20th. Does anyone have any sugggestions for me? Some areas in which I would like input include:

1) What kind of pace works out best?

2) Is there a type of food which is good for sustained performance pre-race?
