Okay, I have not raced anything longer than a 5K since my college running days...which was about 7 years ago! I have run long runs on my own, but it's been a while since racing anything longer than 3.1 miles. Yesterday I ran a 10K...and I am a little sore today! I ran my first 3 miles at my regular 5K pace...so I felt pretty good at that point...but slowed down a little the last 1 1/2 miles. I have to say I think I like racing the 10K better than the 5K- anymore it seems the 5K has turned into a "sprint"! I have another 10K next month...we'll see if my time improves! Yesterday I ended up finishing 1st in my age group, and 6th female with a time of 46:49...not bad for my first 10K.
Of course Noah ran his kiddie run, had a blast and got his medal at the finish line!

Great run. I hope I can run a 10km in 46 minutes. You rock.
