Well done. How did it feel?
actually great! I even ran up our Main Street which is one long slow hill without any problems. Guess its a good thing I always have several hills on my shorter routes.
Nice...So what's next? A 10K?
Just contine training plan for 1/2. We actually don't have many races around here but there is a 5k in Feb if I'm functional after I have my wisdom teeth out (it's 4 days after, we'll see) I guess getting into spring we have several 5ks within an hour from home but that is about it. Got to love rural America!
Not dead. Yet.
Congrats! That's a huge milestone. Like Dave said, you can get a 10K next and then 10 miler. ]
w00t!
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?

are you suggesting to run a 10k on next long run, then shoot for 10 miles on the one after that? I'm actually surprised that I felt like I could do more. Or just stick to training plan?

Great job!
This is when it starts getting fun, when you start running distances that previously were only conceivable as a drive.

Well done! Only recently getting that goal myself, I still remember how great it feels! Oh and I agree with the comment above - now the fun begins.
Being a slow runner means I get to check out YOUR butt...
This is how I do it... http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/profile/SarahinShibs/
No. Build up to the 10 miler, but you could probably run the 10K whenever you are ready. I was just pointing out the milestones. Stick to your plan.
I'm with you my friend. I too live in the rural Sierra Nevada mtns. Any race for me is at least an hours drive. I've got my Davis Stampede Half this Sunday and that's 1.5 hours. Great place to live...Not so good when it comes to available races. LOL!
Ok that's what I was thinking!!
Totally understand! Mine is 3.5 hours away.
