To Garmin, or not to Garmin.........

My first 5K is a week-and-a-half away, and I have a tendency to start fast, slow, then speed up a bit at the end. I am sure the race will permit it, but should I? I see it as a useful tool, but I kind've feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Bodyglide is my new best friend!

Can I trust myself to run the 5k at tempo pace versus race pace?

I've got my first tempo-long -tempo run on the schedule (we'll ignor the fact that I've neglected all others). At my tempo pace it looks like this 3.2 miles fast then run 9.5-10 miles then another 3.2 fast. There's a 5k locally tomorrow. Can I trust myself to run the 5k at tempo pace versus race...
