I just signed up for my first 10K... it's in one and half weeks. I've been training for it for the past 6 weeks. Here is what I've learned:
- I can do it.
- running is not as hard to train for as I thought.
- neon running shoes will be my next purchase.
- running on the W&OD trail is A LOT easier than a treadmill.
- time goes faster running outdoors with a friend.
- while I hate techno, it makes the run better.
- watching "White Chicks" while running makes me run faster.
- stretching makes a world of a difference.
Here is what I have noticed:
- I sweat now in places that I've never sweat before.
- I cut 15 minutes off my 5K time (from the Color Run).
- I'm mentally stronger than I once thought I was.
- I miss running on days that I not scheduled to run.
- my ass looks better in my boy shorts.
- I'm always hungry now.
So.... to summarize. I've been training for a 10K in which I feel I'm not prepared. I have a week and a half to go. What was I thinking?
It's going to be amazing!!
