So much has happened and it is hard to know where to start. So I'll just dive into a topic. I finished my first 10K race! I started thinking my purpose was so the person in front of me was not last. Hey, it's a purpose...and best of all it was a PR since it was my first 10K. It was a beautiful course, lots of rolling hills but nothing too difficult. I was as slow as I expected but I did it!
Now a few words about my "running partner". I love my Garmin Forerunner 405CX. I can't believe the stats it produces. I'm so glad I had it on this race. My best pace was 6:47 min/mile which is insane. My pace at the finish was 9:59 min/mile and my average moving pace was 12:35 min/mile. The Garmin certainly gives me an overall picture of my progress. If I can just make those dips in pace not dip so far so often. I'm thinking there is hope for me yet!

Catfish Days 10K 2010, July 11, 2010
I registered by email today! I'm committed now...although I registered the family for the BK 5K and most of us were sick. The day of the race was the first day I finally felt better, but I didn't make anyone run.
This one is only me, so I'm committed. Wake up early, nourish, hydrate, prepare, finish, drive home. I guess technically a PR is a given since I've never ran a 10K race before. My average pace is slow, I expect to finish in 1:15. At least it's a PR I expect I can beat soon...on my next 10K, right?
