Twin Cities 10K

My sister Colleen and I ran the Twin Cities 10k this morning. It was our first race, so we were a little nervous, but it ended up being so much fun! There was so much energy down by the Capital which was so fun to be a part of.

My goal was to finish it under an hour, and I ended up finishing a little over 56 minutes (approx. a 9 min mile), so I was really happy. It was a perfect day for running, nice and chilly.

I have to say I can see why people get addicted to these races. I was so pumped the rest of the day, and I can definitely see myself doing more. My other sister Katie is running the 10 mile tomorrow (good luck Kate!) and she asked me if I wanted to do the Grandma's half marathon with her next summer. Not sure if I will be ready for that yet, but I'll plan on trying a few more in between then and see how it goes. Fun! I have a new hobby!
