Toro Dash 10k 2013

11.2.13

On a whim, I signed up for this race. The nice thing about living so close to Trinity Park is that races are frequent and close.  I literally signed up for the race the day before the event.  Having recently completed a 5 mile event, I decided to register for the 10k, my first.  My running had decreased drastically over the past few weeks, but, I felt like I could finish the 6.2.  

As usual, I got off to a quicker start than desired, but quickly slowed down to a nice, easy pace.  I was pacing a little slower than I would have liked, but, having never completed this distance before, wanted to make sure that I didn't run out of gas.  I ran the entire time, and feel confident that I can improve my time.  

Goals are becoming clearer for my distances. I need to work my 5k down to 25 minutes, and, 10k's, for now, should be under an hour and improving.  

The stats: 6.23 miles in 1:03:02.
