What a blast! This morning was incredible. I had a great run! I'm so glad I did it. I ran 6.2 miles in 53 minutes and 48 seconds. I think that is pretty good for a top-heavy, 32 yr. old woman!!!!
Hopefully, I'll look back on this time and laugh, because now that I have an idea of how 10Ks work, I plan on entering more (and get serious with training)!
The trail that we ran on was beautiful (except for the hills), but I got a boost of energy every time I saw a mile marker (little old man/lady holding a huge sign with the number of mile that we were on). 6 miles seemed to be over in no time!
Matt and Barrett were there to cheer me on today, and I was happy to see their faces as I crossed the finish line.
Successes for the day:
I finished in my goal time (under 60 minutes)
I didn't get trampled.
I ran the entire way.
My Nike Dry-Fit pants stayed "up" and didn't fall (during training, my old ones kept sliding down and I would have to yank them up as I was running).
I met a couple of people.
I realized how great my husband is for being a fantastic cheerleader.
I got a free t-shirt
I got a free "goody-bag"
I have a new back pack (light weight and trendy)
I found a new hobby.
Next goal time.....................50 minutes flat!
