Breaking in a new clutch?

Breaking in a new clutch?
Hello all. Its been a very long time since I've logged in, a lot has changed around here.
Anyway,
My throw out bearing died, so I ordered a whole new clutch from americanmuscle.com (Great service at AM btw and fast/free shipping!)
This is my first ever clutch replacement and I'm not sure about how to break it in. Do I need to go on a long drive without touching the clutch? Like interstate driving?
Or should I be trying to hit as many stop lights as I can so I'm working the clutch more often?
Should I baby it or give it a little love? Like I said, never broken in a clutch before.

You definitely want to to work it but treat it like you put a new engine in, don't find as many stop signs as possible or something, just go on an easy half hour drive and treat her nice. I'd say give it 500-1000 miles before you start showing her how you drive when you're late to work, haha. But that's me, if it was my car I'd feel bad if I did a fast shift 2000 miles after replacing it!
Never be too cautious with breaking stuff in, the WORST feeling is replacing **** twice because you did something stupid to break it the first time. Treat her good and after awhile she'll return the favor
How did your replacement go anyway?
