I signed up to "run" the Marine Corp (wait for it...) 10K--not marathon-- 10K. After a hiatus from last year's race and some questions about my next so-called next race, I felt it was time or felt guilty and knew I had to do something.For those who are not metric inclined a 10K = 6 miles 376 yards 4 and 25/32 inches. My big goal is to actually run the entire thing. Today is my casual training week, but I officially start training next week.
Right now, I am bit frustrated with my running speed. Some people who might contribute to this blog walk on the treadmill the same mph I run. I know, I know, it's not a competition, but I am impatient and I would really like to get there faster. So, I am trying to emulate the tortoise on the treadmill even though I glance over and see people going at warped speed (IMHO). But, I convinced my partner in crime, Jenn to run it as well and thankfully both of our 5'2 legs run about the same speed.
It's not my first experience with the Marine Corp Marathon. I actually watched our friends Ryan and Kari run it a few years ago. I remember being really tired "running around" all over DC and VA trying to catch them. Let's hope I get in better shape for the 10K. More updates soon!
