I officially completed a 10k race, WOOT WOOT! I can't believe how proud I am of my body and my mind. I was unsure if I should even post my time, but I ran the distance/race everyone else did, regardless of my time. I have the hardest time not being disappointed with my time, because I compare it to High School, and before having kids.
I have to remember I took a 5 year break from running. Then another break because I had Lex, my midwife was very strict about me waiting to start training because she didn't want to cause a prolapse. I slowly got back into running and signed up for this race because I thought my family members would be doing the 5K.... their plans changed but I stuck it out!

I don't have my official time back yet and I didn't stop my timer right away so I only have a guess of my time.
This course was very hilly, I didn't expect that, it was pretty hard. I also trained at night so I'm not use to the heat or the sun. The race started around 10, and it got HOT! There was some tree coverage, not as much as I expected, so I got a little sunburned.
It was beautiful, we ran by a small lake and the breeze felt AMAZING!
According to my research a 10K is a little over 6.2 miles. The course ended up being almost a 1/2 mile longer and I was so proud that I finished. I had only done a 5.5mile run prior to race day.
I felt really great the 1st half and pretty tired the second half. I'm super sore and tired today!
Prior to this race I planned to train for a half marathon, but I don't know if it's possible or if I even want to after running a 10K and being so exhausted.
Hope you all had a FUN and SAFE 4th of July.
