Well today I get to scratch another goal off of the list. Today I ran my very first 10K event, it was the River Road Resolution 10K put on by the Florida Striders and I was #421.
Waking up the temperatures here were cold by Florida standards…37 with a wind chill of 32. At the time of the run, the temperature was a balmy 41! I was cold, but I was there to run… and that is what I did. I kept to myself and ran my run which consisted of 3 minute run and 2 minute walk intervals. I felt strong during the entire run and was able to complete my first 10K in 1:12:53. That is a full 15 minutes faster than I have run 10K on my own.
All in all, it was a good day today! I am looking forward to scratching off another goal from the list!
