10,000

Yay! I did my first race here in MD/VA area.  The Women in Defense, Chesapeake Bay Chapters 5K/10K
Location: NAS Pax River - Cedar Point Golf Course
Date: 18 August 2012
Weather: SUPER WINDY! overcast, chilly before we started running - but the cool wind felt great! when we were running
Distance: 10K
Time: 72 minutes
Mission: Accomplished!

So, i know it's not a great time, but I felt great doing something for a change. 
And, I actually jogged the whole time.  Which was a mental feat.  I don't have any issues with run/walking but, it felt good to settle into a nice slow pace that I knew I should be able to do & stick to it, even at miles 4 & 5 when my legs were starting to kind of hurt and my mind was getting a little bored.  I pushed through and tried to sing along with my ipod to pass the time.  It felt grrrrrrrreat!
I signed myself up for the Marine Corps Marathon 10K in October :)
