The 10K

On Saturday October 9th I ran my first 10k.
Because Wasatch Women was the 5k I ran last year, this year I wanted to run the 10k.

It seemed appropriate to at least run one 10k this year as my goal for the year was to run 1000 miles.

My sisters (Emily & Carolyn) and my sister in law Deborah joined me at the event although they all chose to run the 6k.

I am glad I ran the race, and proud of myself for running the whole race, (I had a few moments where I thought I could not possibly keep running - mostly on the hills, and then I had to talk myself into it.) I reminded myself I had already run this distance twice this week - just without hills. Plus, I have been getting ready for this all year.
I refuse to not achieve it.... so, while my numbers were not as good as I wanted I am happy to say I ran the whole thing.

Here are the results!

The 6k had 1067 participants

Carolyn was # 58
Emily was # 104
Deborah was # 515

The 10K had 606 participants

Maryann was # 155

Can I run a half marathon next year? Right now, I will not commit - but I am thinking about it!
