Flint River 10 mile run
Instead of complaining about how I use to be able to run, I decided to start running again on March 31, 2010. After two months of walking and running almost every other day I ran 10 miles last night in 1 hour and 47 minutes. I finished the last two miles running fast and strong. I am going to run my first race in Georgia, it is a short 5K race, Loop the Lake . I have not done a 5k race since 2005 when I started running for the second time in my life. So running when it is hot, humid and raining has been an inspiration. Breaking the barrier of one hour of running without stopping last week gave me the will power to run 10 miles. I have run this far before, so I am not breaking new ground, but it is harder than I thought to remain inspried to run when I know I am not in the best shape. I am working towards some local short distance runs and I am inspired that after two months of steady running I can run 10 miles. Training for a marathon in March 2011 or the Rouge Orleans 100 mile run ...
