Today was a long but happy day. I started early, leaving the house around 7:30am to pick up my sister for our first race together! Of course, it wasn’t exactly together – she ran the 5k and I ran the 10k – but it was still a blast to have her there. Ali Vincent from the Biggest Loser was also there – she ran the 10k in 01:13:15… I ran it in 01:11:11… 😮 (my GPS time was actually 01:08:44 at 6.2miles – the race was long at 6.44 miles)
After the race, I got to visit with my brother at his daughters 1 year birthday party – then I had to run to a clients house on an IT job (which is VERY unusual for me). After that I swung by my nephews birthday party and then the BIG news…
My Brother-in-Law – yes, the very same one that got me started on this running thing – moved into town from MO. So I was able to join him with the rest of the family for dinner. We are planning a run for tomorrow and we enrolled in the 1/2 marathon next Sunday!!!
The 10k today? It was fun and I feel I did a good job regarding pace, even though I was progressively slowing down almost every mile. I’m not sure how I will do for the half marathon next week. Right now I feel exhausted – this is the fastest I have ever run and I can tell my body took a beating.
Training this week will be interesting…
