Thoughts

IMG_1921In January I completed my first 10K.  It was a great accomplishment.  At the finish of the race I was almost in tears.  More from the sense of accomplishment than anything else.  I was also saturated and tired but it felt sooo good.

Next month I will be doing another 10K at Disney.  I will be honest and say it will probably be my last 10K.  I think 5K is the distance I prefer.  I can complete that in about 48 minutes or less.  I almost don’t have to think about it.

Once I finish this 10K I going to focus on my health a bit more.  That may sound funny but I’ve been dealing with issues, I will go into more detail in a future post, and I’m trying to find the source so I can get back to feeling happy and healthy.

Disney 10K – Yippee!!!

Well last night was exciting and a bit overwhelming.  I registered for the Disney Star Wars Dark Side 10K in April planning this would be my first 10K.  After doing the registration I went to my e-mail to make sure I got the confirmation and there was an e-mail from Autism Speaks saying a spot had opened up through them for the 10K in January at Marathon Weekend. Oh boy now I can do that 10K with my husband but do I have time to train.  Well I accepted the offer of the spot and will now be doing both 10Ks.  I’m feeling a bit nervous as well as excited.  A 5K has never phased me but a 10K is just a bit more than I think of doing quickly and easily, granted one day I do want to do a half marathon, one day!  Please realize I walk these events.  I am not a runner.  I’m trying to do it that I run some of the distance but I will be walking the majority of it.

Well time to make a plan of action to get ready for my first 10K in January.  I will do my best to post how I am doing training and what I am doing.
