Ok...so I have decided to enter on my companies team to this 3.5 mile race at Jones Beach. Its my first time. I know a couple of people on this side of the forum enter into these types of competitions all the time so I was hoping some of you could give me some tips....like how to prepare, what to do the night before and the day of, how to run effectively, and any other running or jogging tips you may have.
Thanks

The beneficiaries are :
Children's Medical Fund of New York
Children's Medical Fund of New York was established in 1966 by a group of visionaries, who thought the region needed a dedicated children's hospital. A nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, the founding leadership advocated for a hospital to be built, won its authorization, and raised the funds necessary so that the resulting Schneider Children's Hospital opened its doors in 1983. CMF remains the hospital's largest supporter, with millions of dollars raised to advance the medical care, increase technological capability, support educational information, and improve the lives of seriously ill children and their families. Operating from its New Hyde Park offices, CMF designs events in New York and on Long Island to attract major support and create awareness of its mission. For information, visit www.cmfny.org or call 516-352-3344.

| if you dont run at all right now...hit the treadmill. Start off running 2 mins at a decent pace and then 2 mins at a fast walk, do that for 20 or 30 mins. Then after a week bump it to a constant run. Always drink bunch o water during the day....and take steroids, lots of them. |

| If you can't afford a treadmill, go to Manhattan and on 145th street there is a park called Riverbank State Park. It's the only state park in the city...or state? I'm not that good with the history of parks but regardless go there and you'll see they have a beautiful running track for you to practice on. |

Go for a run in alley pond its 2 miles one way(from winchester to Clear view) or you can go to bayside marina and run by the LI sound(bell blvd to northern along the CIP)its about 2.5 miles one way.
Both are good runs, alley pond has more hills and its cooler when the sun is out. If you go run at the marina dont run around rush hour, it gets tooo hot especially because of the heat from the cars on the Cross Island.
3.5 miles is and easy run should take about 30-35 mins |
