On Sunday, I finished my first 10-k race! Not at a fast time, but kept running the whole way--even on the big hill at the start of the race. The race was held in Madison, N.J., and called Giralda Farms Run, yet it's not a farm. It's an industrial office park, but it's got a nice trail and it's near some amazing houses to ogle.
There is both a 5k and 10k race run simultaneously and about 1,300 people participated this year. This seemed OK to me until I passed the turnaround for the 5k-ers. I was so jealous. My fiance, who is a marathoner, ran with me and kept me motivated, so I appreciate him slowing things down for me.
My time ended up being 1:15:09. Slow and steady for sure, but I'll take it! I can only go up from here, right? Plus I love a good long-sleeved running shirt and that's exactly what we got.

A friend thought she had gotten a photo of me, but it ended up being of the grass. Sigh.
