About to go attempt a 10k

[Blaze]

I've been running at lunch pretty consistently for a little while now. I am in good shape, but haven't done much running in the last year or so, just doing other exercising.

Well, when I started I ran a mile and a half and I wasn't even tired. Been increasing a bit every day.

Today I am going to attempt to run a 10k. Never run that far before.

Heading out now.

Wish me luck!

Well, I mapped out a route and then got it mixed up when I was running.

I ran 6.57 miles instead.

So I just did a 10k+

Nothing wrong with getting in any kind of good shape,my wife ran her 1st marathon in savanna GA this past weekend, her goal was not to walk and she said she ran the whole way, finished in 4hrs and something. If u like running keep it up!

I think I am going to try and run a half marathon at some point. Don't think I want to do a marathon, that's just too long to be running, I think I might get too bored.

A full marathon can be hard on the knees, ankles and hips. Congrats on working up to the distances you have been running. A long run for me back before my knee injury was 7 miles. I never went farther than that.
