10K Run

Well everyone, I made it.

I've never ran close to six miles, except for maybe a few training runs when I was on the Harbor Springs Middle School track team, and it wasn't as bad as I feared.

The first three miles weren't bad, but right at that point, there was a monster hill to run up.

It was steep.

If it were a ski hill, it'd be double black diamonds.

I made it all the way up without stopping, even though my brain was telling me numerous times, "just stop!"

After that, I slowed considerably, but it was all downhill and I didn't make any stops en route to finishing the 6.2 mile run in around 54 minutes.

My time is hardly flashy, but my goal was to just simply finish and not make any stops.

I did that.

Just about died afterwords, but hey, I finished.

Hopefully, the next 10K I run won't have a massive, ridiculously long and steep hill in the middle of it.

Headed to Detroit for the next few days. Catch everyone soon.
