10-ish months, first road race

jjs22

Its been about 10 months since I started MFP. I hit my target weight (lost about 45 pounds) a while ago, and much to my surprise really got into exercising !

On Sunday, I ran the garden of the Gods 10 miler, my first race. TBH, recurring calf problems kept me from doing any real running before the race, so I trained by walking and biking. During the race, I speed-walked on the uphills and flats, and ran on the downhills. Still, I managed a 10.5 minute mile average. Way, way better than I hoped for.

Please ignore the goofy smile !
