run a 10K

I did the Nike 10K last Sunday and was really pleased with myself as I come in at 59 minutes. I have signed up for a Cancer Research UK 10K charity run this Sunday so I am going to try and do it again. I am aiming for 1hr10 to allow for the hilly course and the other runners. It will be my first 10K run where other people are running the same route for the same distance as me (I normally run alone). I’m really excited

but it’s a start! this morning i ran approx. ten minutes from my house to the clock tower and back – only stopping at the clock tower to drop some postcards in the mail box. i was proud of my first effort!

Its a little way off, but I would like to build up from my current level of 5k slowly but surely.
Would love to find a couch to 10k program if any such thing exists!

Pretty good, overall. I lagged 5k-7.5k because of calf cramps but they disappeared eventually. Maybe from opening up my stride? Running 10k twice during a weekend is a little much when you aren’t used to it…

didn’t do it great time..if i remember correctly, it was 1:12, but it was a great feeling to finish! half marathon is my next step. but probably a couple of 10k’s along the way if they come up to keep my training in check.

i plan to run the jingle bell run on 12/13/08 10k. i think having the date set will help me to start running again. i will probably follow hal higdon’s 10k training program.

run a 10k

Finally! I hadn’t gone running for about a month so I got tired of waiting for better times on a 5k and just went for a 10k. Didn’t do to bad for a first try either :)

Been against Nike for as long as I can remember, but god damnit they hooked me with this new Nike+ stuff. Gotta say – I’m a sellout now. Nike+ is about the only thing that has managed to motivate me this long. I’ve already run over 20mi in the past 2 weeks and I’m right on track to run a 10k at the end of October.
