run 10k

So: our last major run (50 minutes, no breaks) was our longest yet. And yesterday I had the nice realization that it’s the longest one left during our training! There’s still another week or two of prep, but after that, we’re essentially ready to try for 10k, which is an amazing feeling. I’m not sure when we’ll try for it, but it feels like we’ve gotten here a lot quicker than I would have imagined.

Our longest run yet, one we’d been dreading:
10 minute run
1 minute walk
15 minute run
1 minute walk
20 minute run
1 minute walk
10 minute run
1 minute walk

It went really well! We tried a new trail which was great, and surprisingly we were pretty energized by the run we’d been dreading. We agreed we could have done another 10 minutes (but were glad we didn’t!).

10k still seems crazy, but what we’re doing now would have seemed crazy a year ago. It’s amazing how much you can grow when you take small steps in rapid succession.
