I made it through

FitJoani

Today was the official 10K. I ran the ENTIRE way through and even when in my head I was saying stop and walk a good voice in my head said NO RUN IT OR REGRET IT!!!!! So only slowing down at small hills and to dump water on myself I made it through after the first mile I was in disbelief that I had only did about an 11 minute mile. My total time was 1:14:47. I SPRINTED to the finish line to make sure I finished under 1:15. It was great Carnegie mellon had thier marching band out for us, Pitt had the Panther and cheerleaders and Duquesne had flaggers and a marching band as well. I thought I was gonna die on my last mile which was almost solid gradual uphill, but I thought I made it this far just RUN!!! So I did and had a VICTORIOUS DAY. I am gonna post my pic perhaps tommorrow.

Congrats! Good job. Its funny how hard it feels and how unsure you feel while you are doing it but afterwards it feels sooooo great both physically and emotionally.

absolutely. When I hit the 6 mile mark I heard everyone screaming for us between people who ran the 5K, other 10Kers who had finished friends volunteers family members it was motivating to just finish and not walk thru the finish line. Two ladies I passed grabbed hands and said were finishing this together they had ran it together. That was cute.

I wanna do a halfie next year. I want to finish under 2 hrs(or a couple over). I was shocked everytime I passed the time coubnters. I thought there is NO WAY I am doing this pace. I was passing people who LOOKED like serious runners. There were people puttering and walking the first hill!!! So that felt good.
