Tuesday, 8/26/08 - Practice 10k

So despite running a few times a week, today was the first day I managed to run a straight 10k without stopping. I was plenty hydrated throughout the day and didn't eat for at least a few hours before the run, which definitely helped. It seems that my goal of running 9 minute miles for the 10k is a little unrealistic and I coasted along just below 9:50 miles today for the duration. It's amazing how toning down the pace makes it seem like I can go forever. It went pretty smoothly and should be able to up the pace a little bit come Sunday night. Let's just hope the chafing subsides...

Here is the route. Super messy and didn't really have a destination, just running aimlessly on relatively flat streets.
