FIRST 10K WOW

A month ago a friend asked me to do a race with her. I'd only done one other 5K (finished in a little more thant 45 minutes), the month before, and was trying to decide between doing the 5K and the 10K and I decided to just go for it & do the 10K. I only had a month to train. Saturday morning was FREEZING. A few miles in a wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it, but I refused to give up. I ended up finishing in 1:08:46. My goal was 90 minutes and I blew it out of the water!
So proud and excited for this accomplishment!

Excellent! Mind over body is what they keep telling me. I am hoping, have done 8 5Ks this summer and not ran all they way through one yet. Maybe this #9 this Saturday will be the one.0

I stopped 3 times total. Once because I thought I got lost with the 5K-ers, once for water, and once for a hill. But always short stops.0 -
that's great! I did two 5ks in September and I'm planning on an 8k on Thanksgiving just to give myself an intermediate step before a 10k sometime in the spring0
