my first 10k!!
I ran my first 10k today. Its the longest race I've ever done so I was a little anxious for it. I did really well. I wanted to run it in at least an hour or under and I ran it in 55:40. When I was running I really did not feel good for about the first two miles; however, after the first 3 I felt awesome and by about 4.5 miles into it I was in the 'zone'. My legs were really sore but I kept chugging along and I felt good, like I could have gone a couple of more miles. I even picked up my pace a bit. Angela and I ran on thursday and this morning I was still sore from that run. I think if I wasn't already sore from that run I would have felt better. But now I know for next time. I'm really glad I ran it and I hope to do a half-marathon in the next couple of years, depending on my personal life.
