I mentioned here that I planned on participating in this Tri-fecta of races again this year. Today was race #2, "Le Tour De Carrboro 10k". And here I am...
What a beautiful day for a run!! A little chill in the air when we started out and then perfect just a few minutes into it. I was solo, again. But that's okay... (Marianne, if you're reading this, jump on this wayward bandwagon with me! I get lonely out there and could use a running buddy!!). There's always another runner girl to snap a photog or two for you! Thanks unknown runner girl!!
I was pretty happy with my time. A 10k is approximately 6.25 miles and I completed my run in 1:04:54. And if you know anything about Carrboro...it's not flat. So, my goal is to finish the Wicked 10k in Virginia Beach on Halloween in an hour or less (insert prayers here).
I came to the conclusion this morning that I am only and will always only be a pleasure runner - I run so that I can eat dessert almost guiltlessly. My conclusion was drawn because it occured to me, as they were handing out the awards to the fastest runners, that I would have to shave 15 minutes off my total time in order to even be CONSIDERED for a prize. Yeah, those lovely aluminum baubles aren't THAT important to me!
Look out Gallop & Gorge (Thanksgiving morning), here I come!!
