    Hi! I also signed up for my first 10K! I will be running mine mid April. After running 5Ks for years (slowly), I have decided to go longer distances and eventually build up to a 1/2 marathon.

    Training is going alright. up to 4 miles on my long runs, plenty of time left to comfortable get to 6.2. My dog runs with me (more like drags me along) so I have a good motivator :)

    I usually run 5kms three times a week and 10 kms once a week. I've vowed to do at least one 10km race this year, but the problem is that I'm uber competitive. If I run 5km, I'll likely finish top 3 in my age group, but if I run 10km, I'll likely only finish middle of the pack. What a conundrum! LOL!

    It's not a 10K but it's a race I run every year in June. It's 7.1 miles and no matter what the weather is the weeks before the race (it's the second weekend in June I believe) it never fails that it is hot as balls on the day of the race. I think there have maybe been two races where it was over cast and slightly cool which happened to be the two races I DIDN'T DO! LOL! The course is wicked hard. Hilly, no shade and the last mile is a HUGE hill.

    Ask me why I do this race again? LOL
