This past Saturday was the third time I raced the Breakaway 10k but I’ve probably run this course over a hundred times. No exaggeration. I helped design the course a few years ago and it’s one of my go-to routes. This race holds my current 10k PR- 37:51 from 2016. When I decided to add in the Midsouth Half Marathon at the beginning of November I knew I couldn’t really plan on Breakaway being an A race. I wanted to…
Fall is finally here and after two races this month I figured this would be a good time for an update. This month has felt much more “normal” in my training and racing. 🙌🏻 So thankful for this! I knew going into both of my October races I wasn’t where I would like to be but it’s all about progress! This was a great way to test my fitness after 2 months of training. The first race was October 7- the…
I remember a time when the 10k was my most dreaded racing distance. I ran two of them my senior year of high school and vowed never again! I knew nothing about 10k pacing and my strategy was basically to go out like I was running a 5k and hold on. Obviously this is a terrible race plan and makes for a pretty miserable last few miles. In college during track season I avoided the 10k and would gladly volunteer…
Hello and Happy (almost) Thanksgiving! The kids are home from school all week so we are very much in holiday mode around our house. Before I completely forget I thought I would write up a very brief recap from the two races I ran since the marathon. I hesitate to even write about them since they were during my marathon recovery phase but that’s how it goes sometimes! The Race: The Breakaway 10k The Date: Saturday, November 14, 2015 Location:…
This is by far the most belated race report I have ever posted. I thought about summarizing this race recap in another post but it just wouldn’t do it justice. This was my husband and my oldest son’s first 10k and running 6.2 miles at any age is a big deal and should be acknowledged! Race- The Breakaway 10KDate- Saturday, November 15, 2014 @ 8:00 amLocation- Race started and ended in front of Harding Academy in Searcy When my eight-year-old…
If you are reading wondering how I set a new 10K PR just 6 days after my marathon I will fill you in now… I didn’t! It’s not my PR but I think I am enjoying it more than when I set my own this past May. It actually belongs to my Abi and I had the privilege of running with her this morning in a local 10K. Several months ago when I first learned of a new 10K race…
