The next 2 races will be 10Ks. They are both at Stanford, and both have the same course, which I ran back in 2007. It's certified (and hopefully the actual race will be the same as the mapped race this time!)It's got a small climb around mile 2-2.5 and then runs downhill for the next mile or so. A couple sharp turns near the end which I recall messed my pace last time, but overall an OK ...

... only improve. And my journey continued throughout the past 4+ years. I have raced in loads more 5Ks, several 10Ks, and 7 half marathons. My times have improved dramatically from those first races. I can't ... since become quite the runner himself. Pops has completed 3 half marathons, 10 milers, 10Ks, and 5Ks. It is so rad. It means the world to have his support and it is so neat that we have a ...

... fact that you had a hysterectomy in your medical history! Last month I got to run my 2nd and 3rd 10Ks! For those that didn't know, when I moved to St. Louis the first med wife I met, Mindy, happened to be a ... and decided we needed a new goal, so back in August we planned to run 2-10Ks in October. It was really fun because we invited a ton of friends and got a great support group going. On the ...

... training for the race almost has a romantic quality where you don't know what to expect and are filled with wonder. Then once the race is done, you feel a sense of loss. At least with 5Ks, 10Ks and halfs you can continue with your running and new goals. But the marathon requires a patient recovery time, even a week off one's feet in my case. So, now, after 18 weeks of commitment to The ...

CHICAGO - (November 5, 2009) - North American-based companies will spend an estimated $86.1 million to sponsor marathons, triathlons, 10Ks and other running events this year, a 2.5 percent increase from the $84 million spent in 2008, according to IEG, the world's leading authority on sponsorship. read more

... the same pace as me. Since it was my first my only real goal was to finish under 5 hours and still be walking afterwards. Plus there are two final grand prix races (2 10ks the final two weekends this month) so wanted to try and stay well enough to complete them. Saturday morning, James and I actually arrive early, early That is so unusual for us, we're almost always rushing around ...

... excitement (just ask my husband, who looked quite startled). In fact, next season is starting to take shape. Get ready for more squealing. (Preseason for fun: Gabes Run on November 27th, some local 5ks and 10ks) February 7th: Mid-Winter Classic 10-Miler, Cape Elizabeth, ME March 7th: B&A Trails Marathon, Severna Park, MD April 18th: Forget the PR Mohican 50k Trail Race, Loudonville, OH ...

... in 2011, which we'll miss due to a vacation conflict. As far as distance goes, I am happiest in the middle distance. I like 10 Milers and Half Marathons. 5ks and 10ks are just too short - I feel like I have to sprint through them in order to get a decent time, and I hate that feeling of running so fast that I'm out of breath the entire race. I'm getting constantly better and faster ...

... work on my upper body. The Bangalore weather does not permit swimming and it was good to get a lot of it before I got back. This has been a good running/yoga week with alternating between 5ks and 10ks on every day of the week. The yoga helps to stretch and strengthen. For a change, I do not have any running goals this year ( Nov – Nov). I will do the Mumbai marathon and a few other races but ...

... feeling a little anticlimactic for me. I'm glad that I've stayed with it enough to make running a 5K sound feasible, but I keep feeling like it really isn't that big of a feat (seeing as people run 10Ks, half marathons, full marathons(!). I suppose I should focus on the fact that this is still a "kinda big thing" for me, seeing as I did not run AT ALL a few months ago. I' ...
