She's going the distance!!!

Just got home from an amazing run!

I forgot that a friend had asked me to run a 5K with her in October... turns out it's October 2nd, I went to look at the registration info and saw they also had a 10K... now way back when, when Kyle and I ran to his work and back that was the farthest we ran... but we did it. And since I run a 5K 2-3 times a week... doubling it wasn't out of the question. So I'm thinking of registering for the 10K and Kyle is thinking of doing it with me.

So today we ran this run

Around lake of the Isles and Calhoun. Which is a 10K... 6.4 miles. It actually felt great, my favorite part was the last mile. I had my ipod shuffle in my ears, which is a saving grace. Luckily I had the songs placed in perfect spots and they gave me just the boost I needed when I was feeling tired which kept me going!!!

Oh and I got my HRM in the mail the other day so I have that back in action... which I wouldn't have been able to run the whole thing without it since I use my heart rate to pace myself.

Here's my readout:

6.4 miles

1:11.40

Calories: 896

Max HR: 214 (not sure how accurate this is... my HRM was acting funny at first)

Avg HR: 183 (this is accurate)
