Awesome job on the race! I'm always curious about whether people like to run with compression socks. I'm assuming wearing those allows yours calves to expand enough as you run? I've worn them on plane flights before and to recover sometimes, but that is it.

As for starting the 10K after the 5K, that sounds fine to me, that way the 5K is for sure over by the time the 10K runners are finishing. I have no idea on this though, haha

Sounds like your race went really well overall - you ran up 4 flights of a parking garage?!? That sounds really tough and hilarious, haha The race did sound pretty hilly, I bet you could do even better if you did a 10K flat ground...

Congrats on 2nd in your AG and your first 10k! Up a parking garage? That's cruel! We don't have much for hills around here so that's how I was going to do hill training. ;) Hope your calf feels better soon!

I would go by garmin time too! They totally should have started the race earlier considering the heat.
Hope your calf feels better :)

2011-06-18T20:48:26.623-06:00

Great job on your first 10k! I felt the same way about it being so different from the 5k..I wasn't sure how to pace myself! Either way your time and place is awesome and you should be so proud of yourself!

Holy great race! How awesome is it that you got to finish on a downhill??

About the pineapple in my smoothie post, I use a pineapple corer. It's a gadget you screw into the pineapple, then pull out the rings with it.
