10K

It's been almost a week, and I'm still trying to bask in the glory of my first race! I ran the 5/3 River Bank Run 10K, last Saturday. Wet, windy and cold, but AWESOME! My friend, Kim and I, had a great time. I finished running hard. I was shooting to be under and hour and 10 minutes and I did it in 1:08:26!! That's 11 minute miles! I had been training at around 12.5 min. miles. I'm very happy!

So now I'm addicted. It was hard work but a lot of fun! I've been looking at lots of different races and tri's. Hmmm... what to do next. I'm looking at a relay in July to try with some of my friends. I'm still competing in the Super Sprint in Chicago in Aug. and a Sprint distance tri. in Sept. I'm wondering how much to add, what is too much, what's OK. I can see how this can get expensive as well! My husband says we'll have to create another account just for race entry fees!

All in all, it was a great experience, I'm so glad I did it, and I'm letting it spur me on to do more!
