6k

yesterday, i ran my first 6k. yes, runs are normally 5k’s, but, although they tried to find a viable 5k route, this race’s organizers couldn’t come up with a practical option, so they offered a 6k (as well as a 10k and a half- and full marathon option). no, i didn’t run the marathon or the half-marathon or even the 10k, but it was still a personal (distance) record for me! i’m not particularly fast (i finished in 46:41) but i did run the whole thing (not run/walk) and that was my goal, so i feel pretty good about it. maybe by the end of the summer i’ll do a 10k? mr. happy stuff was there to cheer me on and took this picture. i realized that it was the first time he’d been along to see me do a running-only race (as opposed to the triathlon). it was nice to have a cheering section.
