Digg! this story.
Even though I did it slowly, I still did it! This gives me a little more confidence going into the 10k this weekend. I don’t know that I’ll have a fast (for me) race, but I’ll finish.
It was very humid again today… please cross your fingers that there is less humidity on Saturday… and please no storms! I DO want to run this thing! Also, the blister on the arch of my foot came back/started hurting, so I did the last half of it pushing through that. I did decide to walk during mile 5 at 4.5 miles because I needed a breather. I also stopped for a second at a few intersections.
One thing that I do feel I have on my side is the fact that today’s run had over 700 feet of ascent, cumulatively. The race does have one challenging looking hill at the beginning and is certainly not flat, but overall it totals just shy of 400 feet of ascent. If I can make it over that first big monster hill, I should be good! Check it out here: 10K Map
OK, time to finish getting ready for my opening, and the event tonight!
