10K

Ok. So it's been a week and I haven't posted about the 10k run. I don't have any pictures of it on here. Mom hasn't sent me any and no one else uploaded them to facebook. So anyway, I ran the 10k in 1:19:59. I am very proud of that time. I walked more than I walked too. There was this huge hill and I was like no way am I running up that. lol But I did run the last km, fully. My legs were uber shaky after the run. I had to sit down. Mom was like are you okay? I just couldn't walk anymore. But, it was a great fun. It was so cold!

I'm debating whether or not to run the Hypothermic Half here. I thought there was a 10k option, but there's only a half. I think it would be fun to run the waterfront in the middle of winter.

I went for a run yesterday. I want to work on my pace a bit. Unfortunately, I don't have a garmin so I don't know what my pace is exactly. According to the time of the 10k, I have about an 8 minute km. I'd like to get down to 7 and eventually 6. So I started back at the beginning of C25k. And I made sure I ran faster than normal during the intervals. I'm going to do to some strength training today and then run tomorrow. And then another day of strength training. And then a long run at my regular pace. :) I think that's what I'm going to do for a while...until I get sick of strength training anyway...lol
