Ran my first 10K this morning (done a few 5K's) and was quite happy with the results. Finished 153rd overall out of 397 runners, with a time of 1:05:10. My goal was to be close to a 10:30 pace (and not be last) and I met my goal.

Woooohooooo! :drinker:

    Just make sure you have FUN! I spent most of the race just watching the ground in front of me, saying to myself, "Just keep moving your feet". :wink:

    That's awesome! It'll probably take me longer than that to walk my 5k next weekend. :)

    Great job, CONGRATULATIONS! I ran my first two 5k's last month, have another one scheduled in two weeks, and a pamphlet for a 10k the week after that is sitting in my laptop bag...I am just trying to make sure the weekend schedule is clear but if it is, I'm in!
