The 10K Marathon...

I did it! I ran in a 10 K marathon. My personal goal was just to run and not stop. I did it! I didn't slow down to a walk once! I continued running the whole time! I just made it to the start of the race too! There was a long line for the shuttle bus from the station to the start. They had to get extra buses in order to shuttle everyone! As soon as I pinned my number on my shirt, the race started. I made it just in the nick of time. Therefore, I didn't really get to stretch as much as I wanted to. Now my back hurts a little bit but I will get through it. It feels really good to accomplish that little goal...now next year will be 22 K and then I will run a full marathon! Maybe...! I want to run in the Honolulu Marathon some day. And I want it to be a full marathon. I think I can do it! 10 K down, it is the first step! Yay! Well, I am going to relax a little now and then I am gonna go shopping for a frame for my certificate!

Oh yeah, my stats and the weather conditions:

Time: 58 minutes 20 seconds
Place: 199 out of 277 for my age group (Under 39)
Temperature: 10 Degrees Celsius (about 50 degrees Fahrenheit)
Humidity: 40%
It was very cloudy today and the sun never broke through!
