kris and i ran a 10k today is just over an hour. we actually ran over 4 miles of the total 6.2. i am so incredibly proud of myself right now! lance and jeremy showed up to cheer us on. they are such good husbands!!! it was a great time. the hardest part of the race for me was miles 1-4 were consistently uphill. i have been consistently running at least 2 miles with kris when we take the dogs out but those first two and a half miles were hard today! we ran walked ran walked for the rest of the first 4 and then ran most of the last two. mile 5 was a fast mile because we were really speeding down the hill. the route was really pretty though - for most of the race we were running along the beach and could feel the cool ocean breeze on our faces...
the main difference i noticed in the people who were running the 10k compared to people who sign up for a 5k... these people today werent messing around! a lot of them had those goofy looking fanny packs with all the water bottle and expensive running shirts and pants etc. i felt a little out of my element. thankfully i have a regular old 5k to look forward to on saturday. i am still working on my new years resolution of running an entre 5k (3.1 miles) in a race.
we got our "free" food and t-shirts and running beans (special jelly beans made by jelly belly that have electrolytes in them - kris was feeding them to me during the whole race) after the race on the santa monica pier. thats the real reason i run - t-shirts. :) there were no medals this time for the participants - only for those first through third in their age and gender category and i was no where close to that.
