Vancouver Sun Run 10K

I ran the Sun Run on Sunday, April 15th. It was my first 10K race and the first time I've ran more than 5K in at least 10 years. My time was 61:40. I wanted to do better than 60:00 but I'm still happy with the result.

When I signed up for the run I had no idea how long it would take me. I signed up in the 70-90 minute category. That was a big mistake. There soooo many slow runners at the start of the race that I had to zigzag my way back and forth across the street to get around them for the first 3K. The next 5K I jogged at too slow of a pace (although I was going faster than everyone else since I was in such a slow category). When I reached 8K I realized that I had way too much left in the tanks so I sped up considerably. I probably should have done this much earlier.

Next race my goal is to break 60:00 but I'm going to shoot for 55:00. No idea when that race will be yet.
