10K Completed!!

I have always wanted to run a 10K, I just never thought I could do it.  Today, I did!

I completed the BolderBoulder which is one of the largest 10K runs in the country.  I think about 53,000 people participated.  So, not only did I complete a 10K, I completed it at altitude (peak was 5900 feat).

I just received my official splits

Mile 1:  9:33
Mile 2:  9:13
Mile 3:  9:31
Mile 4:  9:26
Mile 5:  9:04
Mile 6:  8:59
Finish:  57:40

So, I achieved both of my goals.  The first goal was to run the entire time.  The second goal was to finish in under an hour!

Cheers.

Another decent week of exercising.  It is nice to see the home elliptical workouts increasing to 60 minutes on some days.  That will certainly help with the 10K.

Different week, same story.  I am still struggling with overeating (to the point of binge eating).  The extra exercise is helping to temper the impact of my eating, but I need to get it back under control.

This marks the "end" of 52 weeks.  My actual anniversary of when I started this journey is Monday.  That will be quite an accomlishment.

Cheers.
