Started out too fast; it was hard because right away it's a sharp downhill and that just gets your legs going! It was extremely foggy and the water was condensing on the trees and then falling off the leaves, so even though it wasn't raining it felt like it was. I was feeling pretty good until about mile 4, as you can see I slowed down a good amount around then. Somehow around 6 miles I found another level and dug a little deeper, but I was definitely hurting. I got 'er done though, and took a good 5 minutes off of my 10K PR which is AMAZING.

The last time I ran a 10K was probably a couple of years ago; seems like I'm usually running further. So I was really unsure of what my pace ought to be, and unsure of what I was capable of. My husband gave me some advice for starting out, but that pretty much went in the toilet. I'm kinda glad because I think if I would have taken his advice I would have been slower; although I probably wouldn't be hurting right now as much as I am. I left it all on the course and I couldn't have gone any faster at all.

Tried not to throw up, just walked around for a little bit and tried to avoid people. After a few minutes I stretched, then grabbed a bagel and a banana and headed to D's track meet!


Nothing!
