So 13 days into the new year and here I am. It's great to blog about my accomplishments into the new year and my goals that are coming up. For now, I will walk about the Rogue Distance Festival 10k I ran last Sunday, January 5th. It was such a fun run, for being a 6.2 miler and the weather made it that much better. I truly believe that I am a more effective runner running first thing in the morning and also when the temperatures are more on the cooler side. Waking up the morning of the 10k, the temperature was 39 degrees and windy. I didn't complain too much...until I got to the starting line. I had a long sleeve shirt under my Denver Broncos (John Elway #7) shirt, gloves on and something to warm my ears. I did not want to put on my running sweater because I knew I wouldn't wear it the whole time, that I'd just sweat and be miserable, so I told my boyfriend to hold onto it. Thank goodness I did because within 4 miles of the race, I was sweating and ended up taking off my gloves. BUT I did see a few people tying their sweaters around their waist. Too much work. Once I run, I just want to run. Anyway, It was a fun run and I 6.25 miles in 1:07:43 (according to my Garmin). My race time, since it was a timed race, was 1:09:01. I think it was a little bit over 6.2 miles because my Nike Plus GPS said 6.34. Regardless of the distance, it was a fun run and I ended up getting the nicest running shirt from it. Seriously, it's nice. It's made from a dry fit type of material and I LOVE IT!
Here's a photo from the race:
