Renewed love for running

Today i ran the 10km Run for memories with my mom. It was her first 10km race and she kicked ass! I am very proud of her for getting into running and into the racing spirit. Races always seem to rev me up and spur me on. And that's just what today did...i had taken a little hiatus from running since my half marathon...i needed that break after 3 half marathons in a row. And now after this 10km race behind me i have a new love and goal for running again.


This summer i want to work on my speed work to get my time better. I run an average of 5:30 min/km right now and would like to decrease that to an average 5:15 is that too ambitious? Maybe? And i think for the time being i will stick with 10km races max and get my overall finishing time cut by 4 min-ish. Today i finished the 10km in 1hr and 23 secs...but turns out it was really 10.98km on many people's garmin's! So that's preety good especially after my hiatus since Feb 14, 2010.


Yah road races and summer running:)
