Shaved 5 minutes!

Yesterday I ran a 10k (6.2 miles)  about 35 minutes away from my house. Talk about a destination race. My children and my aunt came with. I was excited to run this course because I had ran it last year so I know where the rough spots are. Also last year I pushed both my kids in the double jogging stroller so I knew my time would have to be better than last years. The race was an appreciation race for all those who serve our country because of that only the people in the service that participate can win anything. That takes a lot of pressure off because there's no way I am winning anything. So I rocked it. I ran and ran and felt good. Every step felt confident and fun. I had 1 goal and that was to finish faster than I had ever done before. I did it. I set my 10k PR yesterday. 1 hour 5 minutes. I shaved 5 minutes off of my time from the 10k I ran on the 4th of July. Then that afternoon the plantar fascitis and achilles tendonitis started to beat on my front door. Needless to say stretching and icing was my saturday night date!
