US: 10K

Wonderful!  I have only had one race under my belt, a 5k.  I did well (for myself) in the completion in it.  By no means was it competitive in my mind.  That was in May.  Now i found that I am participating in the Asics 100 miles a month competition.  I am 48% there right now!  It has inspired me to participate in my first 10k on Labor day!  In fact, I am just waking up and mentally prepping myself to run the route of that 10k to see how it goes! 

My only worry is that I usually don't run the distances straight and sometimes stop in the runs to do some quality stretches.  When I add these runs to my training log, I edit the times to compensate for the time I spent stretching... So i am really worried that I wont be able to make it the full 6.21miles, and if I do, i KNOW my time wont be that great...

 Oh well!  The real win should be that I am enjoying myself, running more than I have ever ran (picture the girl who would walk the mile when the gym teacher wasnt looking), and singing up for races that I never thought I could do!
