I relaxed with some of both last night.
Yesterday morning I ran the farthest I’ve ever run in my life – 10 kilometers (6.21 miles)! I ran The Stride 10k (benefit for Littleton public schools) with Lisa and she was an amazing running partner. We ran the entire length and didn’t stop. Now, I know to some this is no big deal but I typically run only about 3 miles at a time and have been doing that for 10 years off and on. Also, I only ran about 5 times in the past month. So I had serious doubts about my ability to run the full 10k without stopping.
But we did it! I’m so proud of us – here we are just after completing the run:
There were some hills on the damned thing too. See the profile below. Sure there’s some vertical exaggeration but still! I had no idea Littleton had so much elevation gain and loss…I know it’s no trail run.
Congrats on finishing the 10k, which is farther than I've ever run as well. That means you ran right past our house. Stella and I did the 5k.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Stella ran a 5k? that's fantastic - good work to you both!
ReplyDeleteI think we're awesome. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate you did that with me. And, I really appreciate that you provided enough competition to keep me running the whole way. What I don't appreciate, however, is that you beat me.
Is this Lisa? I looked up the times - they were the exact same!
ReplyDeleteBut your rank is higher than mine!
