Running the 10K - Page 3

How'd it go?

Tah tah ta tah (French horns) the results are in.
First we had monster, our Tri-Athlete Star, and now we have Lola Bunny our 10K medal holder.
Cloudy, cooler, with occasional drips, but a fast track brings Lola home for the whole 10K, non-stop, in 1 hr & 20 min.

Way to go, Lola!

Thank you Bruce for posting. And thank you everyone.

I just got a text of my result: I finished in 1hr 21mins 14 seconds. Pffft...okay, so I was slower a 1:14 than I thought. But I finished! YAY!!!!! I guess I should have sped up at the end, but I kept my speed throughout. Slow and steady but I finished without stopping. There were so many kids there. I was impressed! There families and children running the 10K too. Anyways, I'm going to start training to run faster. My friend said to do it again and beat my time.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement. Certain days have been difficult, and I'm glad you all were here to cheer me on.

What kind of time did your friend the runner who got your into this do?

Lola Bunny · 09-27-2015, 09:13 PM

According to her, she looked at the clock when she passed the finish line and it was 1hr 4mins. She usually run a 10min mile. I usually do a 13min or 13:30min mile. She said she wants a do a 1/2 marathon next year. Gotta start training now. Frankly, I don't like running all that much.

I happy with the 10K. I don't think I'll ever get ambitious enough to venture any kinds of marathon.

I enjoy running when I'm running behind women who look good from the back.

You need to find some guys to run behind.

I've done 7 mile (49 min.) and 20 mile (forgot time) organized runs. They were boring. I've done 20 miles with a 65 pound pack in 4 hours for a military test. That was in hill country with some scenery and wasn't so bad. For short runs of a few miles, listening to music breaks the monotony. For longer runs I like to have something interesting to look at.

Congratulations!!

Consecutive thirteen minute miles, mind you, that's an impressive achievement. Well done!

Yes, it was boring. That was my problem when I was training. While running the 10K, I actually did run behind one person. It was this woman, wearing deep turquoise running tights and turquoise tank top. My kind of color....

Anyways, she kept on running, so I followed her. Hehe.....

Hurray! Nice work.

Brilliant, well done.

Technically you were running further than all those other people, as you have such tiny little legs you're running more steps!
