Well, I did it - I ran my first 10K! It was definitely a challenge (especially mile 4, uphill) and there were some technological difficulties (my iPhone somehow erased all my playlists, and my Nike + program that I use to track my pace (highly recommended for $2) didn't work correctly because my phone wasn't getting GPS), but I trusted the pace that felt right to me and ended up finishing in my goal time. I was aiming to do it in an hour and when I rounded the corner and saw the numbers at about 58 minutes I started grinning. My final time was exactly 59:00 and I felt great. Adding to the joy, my friend Jill was waiting for me at the finish line (and snapped this pic) - it makes such a difference to have someone there when you finish a race. Overall, it was a great race! Looking forward to my next one already.
