Apologies if you've come here from my other blog -- this post is going to be mostly a repeat of the other one... but keep scrolling -- the rest of the posts are different I promise!

I'm Smiling as I type this. The race was awesome. I finished a few minutes shy of my target time (Target was 70-75 minutes, finished in 66) -- and I ran the race with everything I could. I don't say this often -- but I'm REALLY proud of myself. In February I couldn't run 5 minutes to save my life, and this morning I did 10 kilometres - to me, that's a HUGE accomplishment, and I feel really good about it. I wasn't the fastest runner there, and I didn't have the best form -- but I finished my race with enough juice left to go hard at the end - it was great.

I have a medal, and my bib from the event. I'm going to buy a frame this week and hang both together on my wall.

Turns out no one was there to greet me in the end -- which was really dissapointing to me. But I found some people that I work with -- and we all hung out and went for breakfast, so that was fun! If anything I got a chance to network a little bit with some of the up-and-comers. We might do more races together in the future, which would definately be fun.
