My First Race!

One of the podcasts I listen to is called Another Mother Runner and they have race training plans you can sign up for and become part of a Facebook group for tips and encouragement. In January, I decided to try something different than just "going out for a run" and signed up for the 10K plan. I felt like a 5k was too easy because I was already running about 3 miles at a time. It was really fun having different workouts to try for speed and for endurance. I couldn't have asked for a better race. It was actually kind of cold the morning of the race, it was a small race, and the course was so flat compared to where I'm used to running. My race time was 55:52.2   I came in 22nd overall out of 77, 6th out of 12 in my age group, and 15th out of 61 for women.
