  • Comments: Wish I could have set a PB and gone sub 50min. But overall, I'm pleased since: 1. I ran in the 10th anniversary of the Sporting Life 10K. Got a nice ring to it, don't you think - 10K, 10th anniversary, Sporting Life! 2. The fastest I've gone is 50:17, so today is 2 sec slower. But that was 9 yrs ago (the 1st Sporting Life 10K), when I was in the Women 35-39 group, I'm now in Women 45-49! Although 9 yrs ago, there was no computer chip so actual run time was probably <50:17. 2. This is the 1st race of the season, so I haven't done much speedwork yet. Actually, this IS my speedwork. 3. This time is based so far in 2007, on 2 runs/wk, <2hrs of running/wk, and ~10mi/wk. So a great result relative to training time, couldn't have gotten a better bang for the buck. 4. Only ~20% of Canadians are physically active. Even if they all have the fitness level to do a 10K (which is unlikely), by placing in the 11th percentile, that puts me in top 2% of my age group. Gotta be pleased about
