Well, I did the 10 mile race on Sunday! It was great. Surprisingly I did better than I thought. I did the 10 miles in 1:33:20, 9:20 min/mile. I was shooting for 10 minute miles, so I far exceeded my expectations! Came out of the race fine..slightly sore, but nothing major! Looking forward to the next one..

Nice work! You should look into HMs. I love the 15-25k distance range. Smile

Nice job. I never would have thought to do a 10 miler as my first race. I eased into racing with a bunch of 5Ks - then moved up to some triathlons (where the run was only a 5K). And nice job going faster than expected too - always a nice surprise.
