If anyone reads this I would love your two cents.  I am completely out of shape. Would it be crazy to jog a 10k this weekend? How soon is too soon for 6 miles? I think I can do it but it will hurt.  I just don't want to get injured.  I'll go really slow.  Can a marathoner run 6 miles when completely out of shape, or should they start low like everyone else?

Over 4 miles at sub-8 pace! Woot Woot.  I'm pretty surprised I was capable of that honestly. I actually think I will make it through the 10k this weekend. I think I'll start off 8:30-9 minute pace and then go from there.  

The weather is absolutely perfect for running right now. I am just trying to appreciate being outside and thinking about something other than my job search and dissertation. Although that is tough to do right about now.  

Hope everyone had a great day!

Today was the Springtime 10k, the largest race in Tallahassee. We had about 2000 people run this year.  I was convinced to run by some of the people I train with here. They needed one more person on their team.  I had two goals: finish, and don't do anything dumb.

I went out in 7:15 pace, which was dumb.  But I was able to hold a respectable pace and finish in about 46 minutes. I forget my time and didn't wear a watch.  I am pretty happy... this was my longest run in 2010! Hopefully I will have time to keep building on the little base that I have.   

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
