Today’s 10K marked an important milestone for me: this has now been the most active running month I’ve ever had. I’m at 32.8 miles for the month so far (there are still 7 days left in the month), and I’m about 6 miles away from having a career length of 200 miles run on my shoes. My hope is to hit that milestone before my long 9 mile run next weekend.
The 10K was a rough one; in terms of complexity, it fell somewhere between the River Bank Run (which wasn’t all that hard) and the Lakeshore Miracle Run (which had the dune of death). There were some nasty hills on the run, although none came close to what I dashed up in California. I finished a little slower than my River Bank time at 59:29, but my only real goal was to finish within an hour. I was pretty tired later in the day after the run, but it was exhilirating to think that my friends and I were doing runs like this in March. It gives me a little more confidence that the 25K I’m running in May will be doable.
Now I just need to find another 10K to do in April.
