Last Saturday some of our women's running group from church ran the Plymouth, MA Run to the Rock 10k. As you can imagine it was a 6.2 mile run that ended at Plymouth Rock. We made awesome t-shirts to wear on race day. Sadly my pictures don't include Erica, but she ran the race with Emily, Courtney and I as well.
Emily won the prize for overall fastest girl in the 10K (she is SUPER DUPER fast!) Courtney and I had the simple goal of finishing under 65 minutes. I really wanted to finish under 60 minutes but wasn't sure if I could do it. I have been running pretty consistent 10:30-11 minute miles; I am no fast runner but I have endurance. I have been working on increasing my speed this summer, am I am happy to report that it appears my training has been helping as I ran the race in 59:17 which is under a 10 minute mile. Go me! Courtney also met her goal or running under 65 minutes and Eric ran somewhere in the 54 minute mile range, so we all did well.
Here are Courtney and I with our medals!
I just love races, and I feel like the 10k is such a perfect distance!
The Hartford Half Marathon is my next race in October.

Yeah, can't believe you cut me out of the pictures! I'll post the one with everyone on my blog.
Laci, I am so impressed that you ran a 10 K. Good job! You've inspired me to register for one now!
