This past Saturday, January 31, 2015, I ran my very first 10K. The experience was nothing short of wonderful because I set a new personal record of longest distance I've ever run in one day.

Another new personal best is that I ran the first 5K portion all the way through without walking. That was very exciting.

So now that I've got my first 10k under my belt, my next challenge is the half marathon. Goal is to complete one by December 2015.

Here I go...

    Congratulations! Very nice accomplishment.

    What about running a 10k without walking as your next accomplishment? That's quite a goal.

    Way to go! I haven't yet been able to run a 5K without stopping. I'm planning for a March 10K and a September half (which is probably a little ambitious, but that's also my 40th birthday!) Add me if you are looking for more running friends!
