run a 10 km race

I didn’t want to run a half marathon this year (too busy with school) but my absolute favourite distance is the 6 miler first thing in the morning (I think in miles only when I run because it seems shorter that way). So there’s this new 10 k event in my town so I thought it would be awesome motivation for me to train this summer without sacrificing too much research time.

Exciting stuff.

Ran the women’s Lidingöloppet, 10 km. Supernice atmosphere and just lovely. Loved it. Will definitely do it again! And maybe in a better time (I think it took me 62 minutes or something like that. But still, to get under 60 minutes would be really nice.)

I just ran the Fredericton 10km in 71 min 34 seconds! I’m SOOO impressed with myself! It was flat, four loops with a breeze except for one stretch of each loop. Yay me!

No one else from the 10km clinic showed up, so it was just Justin and I. We ran for about an hour last night, sets of 10:1. We went out Harbour Passage, UP Bently, left on Douglas Ave, over the brisge and somewhere in the midst of the sprawling pulp mill (what a saccharine stench), turned around, ran down Chesley (stopped to pee because I drank too much chocolate milk :) and back along Harbour Passage to Market Square. It was 5km, maybe 6km (I looked at mapquest but still wasn’t sure). It was bright and clear and I’m definitely enjoying seeing different parts of SJ.

Doing the female swedish circuit route this year already if all goes as planned.
Which means I’ll first have to train cycling to manage the female Vatternrundan and then swimming for the girl’s vansbrosimmning. Then it’s just training the rest of the summer and the autumn to get this goal fulfilled.

I just don’t want to survive it, I want a good time too, about one hour is my goal and then I have to train a total lot.

Just joined a choir on thursdays, wich means: No day of for running (except weekends and I’m not often free then either). But I’m still GOING to do this. It’s a fact.

I will hopefully run Lidingoloppet (the girls edition)! And then I’ll do it again the year after, because I need it to get the swedish circuit route girls edition… www.ensvenskklassiker.se
