My First 10K

At the starting line

Last October 2008 I run a 3K as part of a Marathon relay team. Fast forward today I finished my first 10K race. I can say I come from being a couch potato to 10K finisher. Just over 3 years ago my wife has to literally pull and nagged me so I can go with her for short walk around the block after dinner.

I clocked in a time of 1:17:08 better than my target of 1:20:00 for my first 10K. Coming to this race I know I can finished this one as I’m well prepared for this one having trained well as I have the endurance to complete this. Question now arises that if I should raise the bar and try 21K in the near future my answer is no I think I have to work on my speed trying to complete the race in lesser time.

I may finished the race at the back of the pack but what I can say is I finished ahead of thousand of people who are in their bed still sleeping.
