:: 10k Run Pictures ::

Here are some pics from the 10k run, taken by my co-worker Alex. My recorded race time was 1:11:02, and I placed 777. Woot!

Here I am, sweating towards the finish line:

And here I am in the post finish corral area, where they collect the lower tag of the race number for the record keeping. Note the classy race wear.

:: I Completed A 10k! ::

Yesterday was the Palo Alto Moonlight Run, an evening event, run in the dark by the light of the full moon, along the shore of the bay. I had planned to compete in the 5k run, but several friends and coworkers were doing the 10k, and talked me into it. I ran the first half (so I did run a 5k), walked a mile, run a half mile, walked a half mile, then finished the last mile at a run. I was breathing like a donkey at the end, but it felt great to complete it.

My calves were like jelly immediately after the run, and after the drive home, I could hardly stand. So I did a good bit of stretching before bed, and woke up with hardly any stiffness in my calves. My quads are another story. I've been hobbling about today, but it's definitely a good feeling. I'm looking forward to my next run.

As for the rest of the fitness agenda, this has definitely re-energized me. Look forward to many more updates.
