I completed my first 10k yesterday! Ok, well it wasn't an official race, or a race of any sort for that matter, but I ran my first 6.2 mile run! (jogging is more like it)
It was a bit cooler out, but I went for it. I had to run on the treadmill inside for the previous 2 days, and I decided after being outside, I really didn't like the treadmill anymore! Funny how that works, not long ago I was afraid to go outside to run!
My average pace was an 11:35 mile.. not bad. I've run faster before, but I really wanted to try to get this 10k out of the way.
Oh, by the way, I can now check off one of my goals for the year... to complete a 10k without walking. Ok, I'll half check it because it wasn't an official race. At least I know I can do that one now.
I was so tired last night after I iced my knees (doing again as I'm typing this today). I thought for sure I would be sore today, but surprisingly I'm not too bad. My knees are just a bit tender in one spot, but I think with some rest today, and more ice, I will be good to go. Nothing to worry about!
I took my pic after I finished yesterday... a bit sweaty, but at least I could still smile! :) (although I look quite dorky in the pic.)
more to come... just a few more days and I can update my pics and measurements for yet another month. Come back on Sunday for that update!
