Jelly Bean Virtual 10K

I've never raced a 10K before, so yay for an instant PR! :D

This run was kind of disjointed. I was scheduled for 6 with PCRF Saturday, but the course we ran was short - like, a lot. 5.7 miles. Gr.

We run down this bike path next to... the San Diego Creek Channel. As we all know, all rivers are really concrete on the sides, right?

No?

Hm.

It was H O T.

There was some water left over from the last time it rained, but.. not much.

Beautiful.

We eventually climbed out of the drainage ditch river path, and ran down this lovely, lovely sight...

But then turned around and went back the way we came. Curses.

If you can overlook the river, it's really a pretty view most of the run...

It's not really all curvy like that. Just my incredible picture taking skills while in motion...

So, part one done - 5.7 miles, 1:04:57

Next, I jogged from our end point to my car. .21 miles, 2:05.

Finally, I went home, and #1 asked to come out with me for my final .29. By now, I'm still drenched in sweat (ick), and now it's kind of breezy and overcast. So I'm freezing. That's cute.

#1 continued to show me what's up, and took off like a freaking gazelle.

Pretty!

Final run, .29 miles, 3:22

Total time: 1:10:24

I completely failed to print and bring my bib with me - FAIL! But, I wore the Disney Princess Half shirt (pretty!), paired with this fab skirt that really didn't fit me 2 months ago :D




...And that's a wrap! I had a goal of a 1:15 10K when I started running, and punched that right in the throat. I'm registered for another 10K in July... June appears to be shaping up as the Month of Speed Work.

Thanks, Jess, for organizing!
