You...Wow, you're going to kill a flat course!!<br /><br />You might want to benefit from my experience: running an extra .5 km in a 10 km race doesn't necessarily mean the course is too long - it just means that you didn't run it robot-perfect the entire 1:15!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15519103948843558917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385381067995601283.post-48733648699962597642010-10-25T15:12:17.412-04:002010-10-25T15:12:17.412-04:00You did awesome!!! I'm glad you had some frien...You did awesome!!! I'm glad you had some friends at the race to help you relax. Being surrounded by super-fit pros had to be weird. :) You look great and happy in the pictures. My favorite pic is the one of you running away from the camera and up the hill. You are getting runner legs! That's awesome that there were supportive spectators and that the super-fast people cheered you on after they finished! I was alone a lot during my second 10k (there were fewer than 100 of us running), and it was weird. For some reason being alone in a race in France seems like it would be a lot weirder. I can't believe the opened the course so soon! I would have been a little peeved about having to move for the cars. I think you should totally still sign up for the half. Tenth-to-last is better than fourth-to-last, right? don't get too down about the weight thing. You just ran a great race, and you're making (overall) healthy decisions in France. Don't feel guilty if you need to briefly change your focus or if you just need to maintain for now. :)financecupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781586611582887524noreply@blogger.com
