Marine Corps Marathon 10K - 10/22/2017
I wasn’t sure how well I’d do with a 10 km run. The last time I had run that far was in July and the last time I ran anything farther was back in February. And for the past 3-4 months, the majority of my runs have been less than 30 minutes on the treadmills at OTF. So, it was safe to say that my endurance training has been a little lacking.
Still, I set an unofficial goal for myself of finishing under 50 minutes. My official finish time was 50:01. Can’t be too mad at that. During the run, I also tried to keep my splits even-ish, which I think I did pretty well, too.
I’m always glad to do this race! In fact, for 5 of the past 6 years, I’ve done the 10K four times and did the marathon once. Those Marines know how to put on a good time.
