10K (6.2 MILES)

Over the past few month I have decided to take up running. It had been a long time sense I had ran any thing over a few miles but I started while in CA this past summer. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to train for a 1/2 marathon in the near future. So with that in mind I have signed up to do a few trial runs. Last sat I ran a 10K run and it was fun. I did it...I was a little nervous but this being my first race and all but koddos to my best friend Ariann she has pushed me and motivated me when so many times I have wanted to quit! I would think of every excuse in the book to not go running, like Dust had to work early sat morning, I just need to sleep in and you name it i probably ran it past her. She doesn't buy it!!! I owe her big time! I really do love it when I get out and run but with back to working full time and so MANY long days on my feet, the last thing I want to do is come home go running!

We ran it in 55:15! Now we are upping it to run a 10 mile run Thanksgiving morning!

Then to some more training and planing on doing a 1/2 marathon in February. Yikes...Yikes
Here are a few pic's of our fan club!

I ran a 10k this weekend too, although my route and time was a lot slower than yours!

When is the half?
