Long Distances

10K
53:14

My last two 10Ks have been faster, however, upon mapping it out this time around the last 2 runs were short. So this was a true 10K. My hips ache for anything over a 5K and the are aching now. I also have a blister on my left foot right below my big toe. Not fun!!! I did pretty well, faster than a 9min mile and I was breathing to bad at the end. I really could have tried to keep a faster pace but i was glad to just finish. Josh text me later that evening and made a comment that the 10K is just as mental as it is physical. I will second that. The distance you are looking at while you are running just seem so far away, you literally have to tell yourself "keep running" "do not stop"
