run a 10K

At Saturday’s 5k, I actually beat my best time by 3 minutes! Yay! I am still not fast by any stretch of the imagination. But I am proving to myself that I can do it and that I can improve. My time was 27 minutes and I was WAY happy with that. I think once I can do it in about 23-24 minutes I will start getting more ready to move to 10k’s. That’s my plan anyway.
Next 5k I’m registered for isn’t til November something. Maybe I can find another one to do between now and then.

So far I can only barely do 5k’s. I’ve done a handful and I have a couple coming up. I need to get better at doing the 5k’s before I can move to 10k’s. My problem in improving lies in the fact that the only time I run is when I am running the 5k. I always seem to forget to train or run on a regular basis. That should be my real goal, to start running on a regular basis, ie. at least 3 times a week.

But long termly speaking, someday… someday, I’d like to run a marathon. I have a LONG way to go!

Wish me luck at the 5k on Saturday. So far my time for these is about 30 minutes. I probably won’t beat that this time, but hopefully I don’t take any longer than that either.
