A Long Ways to Go

I thought was doing really well with training for the Ragnar but running a 10k yesterday made me realize I am not nearly as far along as I thought I was. The 10k was HARD!! I didn't expect it to be easy but it was much harder than I thought too. I know part of the problem is I never run outside for training and running outside versus running on the treadmill is so much different. Yesterday during the run I kept getting calf cramps and I had to walk a lot!! My pace was about 30 seconds slower than I thought it would. So needless to say I have a lot of work to do. But I remembered why I like running races, it is really fun to cross that finish line with everyone cheering. It is such an adrenaline rush.
