Finished My 1st 10k!!!
Running to lose weight!!

So today I ran my first 10k, 6.2 miles! And I ran the whole time w/out stopping. I cant believe I finished. I did it in 1 hour 8 min, which is about a 11 min mile pace. I wanted to try and keep a 10 min pace but there were 7 HUGE hills in the course which came out of no where and slowed me down. Next year I would like to finish in under a hour.

I really want to keep on running eventhough my race is over. Running has really helped me to lose weight and maintain my current weight. I have only been running for 1 year and when I started I could barely make it to the end of my block, but I kept increasing my distance every week and look at me now! At the begining of this summer the furthest I had ran since highschool was 3 mile, but in 2 months I managed to make it to 6.2 miles. I truly believe that with a litte hard work, determination, and motivation you can do anything! I challenge anyone who would like to lose some weight and get in to shape to start running TODAY! Even if you can only make it to the end of the block :)

Trust me you won't regret it!!!

Congrats! I love running too... such a great workout. I've never ran a 10K race, but I'd like to run a half marathon after the wedding. Keep up the good work!

Congrats!  That is amazing!  I started running last week.  I can't really do much at all, but I am working on it, trying to build up and hoping to do my first 10 k for the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving day.  I would just be excited to finish if I did as well as you I would be forced to jump on the bed in joy! :)

i started running in may with a running coach. it's awesome even though i don't have her as a coach anymore (just 8 sessions back then) but i'm definitely keeping it up to keep off the weight. it's amazing and i feel great!

and it's soooooooo true about the hard work, determination, and motivation!

You all have made my day! Thank you for the Kind words. It's nice to see so many people doing their own thing! And for all of you new runners like me, hang in there.

So my plan is to run a few small 3-4 mile races and maybe to a 1/2 marathon next year in May! We will see
