Let's run 10K this morning....

Sounds funny to say, but I wasn't nervous at all. I didn't even take a picture. After running the Half-Marathon, anything less seems SO doable! I have something planned every couple of months...just to keep me motivated, and today is a beautiful 6 mile hilly run in Talent, Oregon called the Frostbite Run. I didn't do it for a great time, I just did it to finish, and so that I didn't have to workout at the gym! A guilt free weekend! Yay! And, the best part was that I finished in 1 hour and 6 minutes (my first 10K...and run ever.....was done in 1 hour 26 minutes). Shaving off 20 minutes was pretty darn exciting!

That doesn't give us much time to get prepared in any way shape or form for running 6.2 miles. 3) We know absolutely nothing about running! I tried by best to talk her out of it, or at least talk her into doing some training and signing up for another race, but it was useless. She had her mind made up. Before I knew it, I was signing up for a 10K! Me....the "fat girl" who never even got to take gym in high school because her doctor thought she wasn't ...
