That first race is going to be so much fun, I envy you, Jackie! Until then, follow your plan and don't overtrain. And don't go run 3 miles the day before the race because you are worried you can't do the distance - I did that before my first race and was so sore on race day I barely finished! So similar to kwogni's comment :-)
