FIRST 10K WOW

melissaka7

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.

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.

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 spring

Superb!

I've run 3 5ks in the last 7 days and am looking to start 10k in January. Definately mind over matter IMO. Well done hope to hear more from you soon.
