10K done!

Honey and I getting ready to race!

We did it! We ran 10 km and we both did it better than expected! My goal has been to run 10K under an hour. According to my RunKeeper it took 55 mins. To be honest I didn't think I could do it, but it was just a great day, crisp air, a bit chilly but the air felt great once I started running. Of course being surrounded by other runners helped me move forward in a very steady pace all the way til the end. 

The race started close to Hong Kong Science Park, we ran along the water, 5K up and 5K back. It was beautiful. I don't know how many runners we were, but not overly crowded, perhaps 200 total. I'm not that good at estimating numbers like that. Unfortunately Honey and I couldn't run together like we planned, the men started running 15 mins ahead of the women. And you got disqualified if you didn't start in your group. Oh well, I had music in my ears and ran with the beat. It works great that way. 

Me at the start, still got the whole distance left.

I totally got encouraged and want to run more, next goal is half marathon. Honey on the other side was more like "Now it's done, don't need to do this again". But I think he'll run again if I find a good race for us. 

Today is a good day for some muscle building and spinning. Yep, totally is :).
