Sunday, September 7, 2008Location: Seattle Iron Girl 10K - Greenlake
Distance: 6.2 miles
Time: 1:03:32
Pace: 10:15 min/mile
Why am I hot sauce now? Because I woke up at 6 am on a Sunday to run in an 8 am event as a part of my half training. And after I finished, it turns out, the hardest part of it was the waking up.
Earlier this week Tanya asked me out of the blue if I was interested in running Iron Girl. I knew the event was happening, but since my sister was out of town, I didn't want to do it myself. So it was just me and Tanya (and she smoked me!).
For a morning run, it wasn't too bad at all. It's always strange how my legs seem to feel numb after a mile or two. But I just keep running. I ran the entire time. No walking at all. Yay Judy!
I was really excited that I beat my last 10K time of 1:06:44. And to top things off, I even received a finishers medal! Yeah, really cheesy, but hey, this is the first time I received a medal for anything. And now I can call mysel!f an Iron Girl.
My next 10K training run is going to be the Salmon Days Rotary Run (http://salmondays.org/rotary.shtml) on October 15th. My goal is to finish in under an hour! And then after that, grub at XXX Burgers to make up for all those lost calories. So come out and join me!
