10k

Saturday morning I ran in a 10k. It was a continuation of the training for the 5k I did in May. Only twice the distance, but it felt a heck of a lot further. As you can tell from the picture, I was tired after finishing (and notice how no one else seems to be that worn out).

I finished in 1:04:30. My goal was a ten minutes per mile pace, so I was about two minutes off my goal, but I was still pleased. The first mile was really slow - over 11 minutes - because of the number of people running. After that I was relatively close to my goal and finished the last half mile strong, so that was nice.

Several people from my training program are going to now train for the Army 10 Miler in the fall. I don't have an entry into it but think I will probably continue. We will see how it goes.
