This was a weird race. Due to the fact that people kept passing me by, I figured that I would be the last one in. I was running as fast and hard as I could, and I was still being passed. I got really discouraged - I kept thinking that racing just wasn't for me and that I should stick to running around my neighborhood. Then when I hit the finish line and saw what my time was, I about passed out (well, I was about to pass out anyway!). All those times that I ran 6+ miles in my neighborhood, I never finished it in less than 1hr. 15 min. But this time I finished the 10K in 1 hr 48 seconds!!! A personal record! So that means that my average pace was about 10 min. per mile. Maybe I should try running a 10K again sometime...
It's always nice to find out that you are better than you thought you were.
