2010 - 10K Goal Acheived!

Sunday April 25th
Oakville Mercedes 10K Race

Crappy weather. Rain held off until about 8K and then it was just drizzling...the real rain came as I crossed the finish line.

I have wanted to break 1 hour for 10K for so long. Could never do it.

Marlene stayed with me until 8K which really helped - we started out too fast (surprise surprise) but we got to 5K at 28:30 (my PB for 5K is only 28:14 so that was a good pace) then we changed to 10 and 1s for the rest of the race and that was good.

I had a hard time in the last 1K but it showed that I gave probably too much up front but my time was 58:44! I was pleased.

So my last remaining goal for 2010 is to PB my 5K. I would ideally like to see anything in 27 minutes...even 27:59 would be good enough.

I know CrossFit is a huge reason in my improvement and I have learned that it is okay to push myself and I shouldn't stop and drool - my major fear since I had my stroke. Slowly getting over that issue which is a good thing.

One day at a time....
