Zooma Annapolis 10k
Well I (kinda) successfully ran my first 10K. I can't believe I only started running on New Year's Day! I ran the whole way except for the water breaks and finished in 1:25:08 (13:43 pace). Race conditions at 7:00 this morning were excellent - about 70 degrees, overcast, with a breeze off of the harbor. My pace was a little slower than I would have liked but I just found out I have a bone spur between the ball of my left foot and my toes plus there were way more hills than I had anticipated (and I work in Annapolis). I also was only able to run twice in the last two weeks because of foot pain. I have an 8K in Norfolk, VA in two weeks and I'm betting it's going to be boiling that day. Thanks so much for letting me brag a little! Julie
Congratulations! That's wonderful, and a great PR for a first race. I'm jealous, I can't run a 10K yet. Way to go! Go luck on the 8K. Hope your foot heals fast.

awesome job Julie!! I am sure the leg speed will come with time -- at least that is what I am telling myself as I slog through my C25k training so I can run my first 5k in July.
Glad you posted - love the inspiration reading this gives me.
