I ran a 10k this weekend. I finished with a time of 55:47 which comes out to average 8:58/mile---I am so thrilled! This is my first 10k where I ran under 9 minute miles AND I finished 47 out of a 117 women in my age group. It marks the first time in a race of this size that I finished in the top 50%
That's so awesome! Congratulations!
When I was checking my half marathon times, I was commenting to my husband that I was "average"... right in the middle. He said "I'm sorry" and I said "no, you don't get it... it took me a long time to just be 'average'"
