I decided to go ahead and knock out my 10K at the first race and ended up winning 3rd in my age group. As I was running the race, I was thinking about how windy it was, I was battling "runner's knee", and I was just ready to finish, not really caring about my time. So when they did awards and I had won 3rd in my age group, I was very surprised. There was a point in the race where I even took my headphones out and jogged beside some random guy. We ended up having a 15 minute conversation about I.T. band problems and runner's knee. The entire race is now a blur to me.
I really enjoyed the enthusiasm of the race.. The people dressed up like Elvis, the Elvis music, etc. So much fun!
Afterwards, I treated myself to some shopping and even stepped away from my strict clean eating diet to enjoy some sushi at my favorite, Sushi Neko in OKC. All-in-all good weekend :)
And now I'm preparing for my next race, which I will post about when it gets closer. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!
