10K (Round Two)

Written By Toby Hillmann

I ran the second 10K of my Life on Saturday! It was certainly not fast so maybe “ran” is more appropriate.

6,3 miles in 1:10:54, though to be fair 5 minutes or more were standing at stop lights as the two of the trails that I like to run are not directly connected.

Learnings:

  • Do not run a “fast” 4,5 mile run less than 12 hours before running a 10K. Either turn the 4,5 mile run into a 10K or rest longer.

  • Continue to stretch and get rest days. I get new exciting pains every time I run more than 5 miles that make me think things like shin splints or ACL tear and I would rather those stay neurosis than realities.

  • Drink sufficient water before running, especially as things get warmer.

Unrelated, but the geese are still their with their eggs. Apparently they take a month to hatch and I do not want to bother them more.
