I Ran 10 KM! February 7, 2007
In my Power Of Focus article, I stated my two health goals for the next 3 to 6 months. One is to get my weight down to 80 kg, and the other is to run 10 km in 1 hour.
Last night, I achieved the 10 km one! I never would have guessed I’d be able to do that so soon!
We’d had my parents and my in-laws over for dinner, and after they left I decided to go for a short 3 km run.
I ran a little bit slower than normal, but when I got to the 3 km mark I decided to continue on to 4.2 km, getting ready for Thursday’s run with a workmate.
At the 4.2 km mark, I was feeling pretty good so I continued on to 5 km (the longest non-stop run I’d done to date).
Still feeling like I had some energy left, I figured I’d push out for 6 km. That came and went, then 7 km, then 8km and 9 km. I felt like I could just keep running continuously!
I finally reached the 10 km mark, and the time was just about exactly an hour. I couldn’t believe it!
The strange thing was, I felt great afterwards. Not tired at all. This must be what it’s like to be fit
