10K #1

COMPLETED!

They didn't get me running across the finish line. I guess it took me to long. :-) But here I am making the turn at 5k (3rd person back).

Darin and I signed up for a 3 - 10K (6.2 miles) race series through Fitness for Vitality. This was the first, then the 2nd is at the end of February and the 3rd the end of March. This series is at Seward Park. It is nice because you get to run the same course and try to improve each time.

This is the longest I have ran since the half marathon on 11/28. I have only been running 1 or 2 times a week, so I wasn't feeling totally prepared.

Darin has been running less then me, so he wasn't feeling at all prepared.
(And he had to take a bathroom break in the middle of the run)

And the fact that we were at his work party until late last night.

Do you believe our excuses?? :-)

Our official times:
Heather                          Darin
1hr 08min                      55:50 min
11:02 pace                     9:01 pace
Women's Place/Overall             Men's Place/Overall
46/78                           28/45
92 10k runners overall
57 Women
35 Men
Sobering numbers.......

We didn't want to make it too hard for us to improve over the series. :-)

And I have to admit that a speed walker beat me. I have got to beat her next time! LOL!

I retired my first pair of running shoes @ 330+ miles.

And I got these pretty new ones. I've put 10 miles on them.
