NSV - My First 10K !

After recently building up to running continuously for 70 minutes covering 4.8 miles (7.7 K), my husband said he was proud of me and that there was no reason I couldn't run a 10k one day.
That day was today ! It took me 91 minutes running continuously to cover 6.44 miles aka 10k !
I think today is the first day that I feel like a real runner. I might be slow but I am getting there
I love running.
Off to get read the boards to get hints on how I can increase my speed/pace now I know I can cover the distance. In particular I want to do sub 39 minutes for my 5K (my current PB).

Good job!0 -
Just keep running!
Some people say keep speed work to 1 day a week, others say that should only be 5% of your training, others say that just keep running longer distances and the speed will happen on its own. I'm new to running so I really can't say with any authority.
