Default Howd you break in your engine

I was wondering how everybody broke in their engine when they got they scion.
I just recently bought a 05 tC on the 5th and i was wondering if there was any special way of breaking in the engine. Im currently just driving below 60 and not past 3,000 RPM's. Ill be doing this until it reaches 600 miles or so...
What are your suggestions?

since it is a camry motor, just go easy on it. The xA and xB are supposedly already broken in and we don't need a real break in. In fact the 2nd weekend I had my box I drove to vegas. Just go easy on it and try to stay away from races for the next 2,000 miles

engine break in is a general question that applies to most engines. since the engines are both toyotas and made the same then they would break in the same as the xB or xA. i am off to search
