Happy Days! I have a little secret. I signed up for a 10 K with a friend for the 3rd week in May. My tester 5K occurred 3 weeks go. I did not do as well as I would have liked. My official time was 39:09 and my pace averaged 12:36 per mile. My goal was to run between 11:00 and 12:00 pace. I ran below 12:00 mile until after the 2nd mile. Woohoo! And my body said that's it! We are done. I was completely done at about 2.5 miles which is the furthest that I have run this season. So, for the 10k I now that I will have to run 6.2 miles prior to the race. And I will have to do a couple of practice runs at tempo. Now to motivate! I will be using a modified Hal Higdon training plan.
