A 10K Under My Belt

Yesterday, Mike and I ran the Kenwood 10k. While we were waiting for the race to begin, I overheard someone exclaim, "this is a pretty intense 10k". Then when the gun sounded, Mike said, "I have something to tell you". That something he had to tell me was that the course was going to be a lot harder than he let on. We're talking hills! Not leisurely climbs here and there, but steep, relentless hills! It was difficult, but I did it, and it was a great feeling when I finished. I even crossed the finish line ten minutes faster than I had anticipated (I won't be standing on any podiums in my lifetime, but it was an accomplishment none the less). The experience was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to doing another one. Of course, now I have my sights set on the half marathon... but first things first, my legs need some major TLC!
