Me and My 10K



So I got the crazy idea to get back into running with a friend at work. I found this race a couple months ago. It's the Jack London Trail Run 10K(6.2miles). It sounded like fun so we both agreed to start training and get ready. We brought the idea up to the crew at the station and had a bunch of takers. Quickly our group of 17 deminished into 10. We headed out on November 1st to the race.
I thought to myself "What are you getting into?" but somehow talked my way through it. I ran the entire race in a time of 1:05:10. 10:30 minute miles. Not a blazing speed by any means but I made the entire route without walking. Here are a few pictures that were taken by the crew that put the race together. I downloaded them from the site. You can also check it out if you want.

By the way. The last picture of me was like .2 miles from the end. So of course I felt about dead....
