Today I ran my first (and most likely only) 10K (6.2 mls) with some friends. I have been convinced to run a half marathon in December so we thought this would be something good to add into our training routine. Due to childcare, we have been training on a treadmill. The run this morning was our first outdoor run. And HOLY CRAP...it was quite a bit different! A treadmill keeps my pace whether I like it or not and I don't really have to judge just how fast I am going. We finished our first mile mark 3 minutes faster than our treadmill pace and I think that ultimatley screwed me for the rest of the race. I had a hard time controlling my breathing through out. BUT...I can say I did it and FINISHED in 1 piece. And yes, if you know me, you know there was some "bitching" along the way!
Addi was determined that I needed a trophy for my race although I came no where close to finishing first. Here is a picture us with my "trophy."
After the 5k and 10k finished they had a kids 1k race...Addi and her friend Bailey ran in the race. They did GREAT! Ran the whole time adn even though they were the youngest I saw, they did not finish last! We gave Peyton a number too just in case but she never left the start line :)
