David made me do a tempo dish loop Tuesday. Talk about a confidence booster. We were chatting a lot of the way and still finished in 27:47. My goal is to break 26 by the end of the summer.
My first 10k race in my life was today. 45:17 by my watch, 45:21 by the race's. The start was slow. I think half the people didn't know they were doing the start. Some of those people were on the front line. Oh well. I started my watch when I crossed the line. My first mile was at 7:04, then 14:36 (7:32), 21:58 (7:22), (5k at 22:46), 29:12 (7:14), 36:39 (7:27), 43:53(7:14), (2nd 5k at 22:31). Yay for negative splits! I passed many people on the way to the finish after the 5k mark. Of anything, I'm proud of that. Considering that my best 5k time this year is 21:55, I think I did well. My goal that I didn't think I'd get was to go under 45, but I came pretty close, so I'm relatively happy about that. I don't think I want to race 10k again any time soon though. Ew and ouch. I'm going back to 5ks.
I lost a bunch of weight when I went to King's Canyon National Park with my parents. Hiking takes my mind off of food and keeps me entertained, so I don't eat so much.
