First Race

I just did my first race ever! It was the NYC Hot Chocolate 10K at Roosevelt Island, paced 10:56 min per mile. I am very happy about my pace as I tend to start off with a 10 min mile and slow down considerably, so I'm glad I kept a sub-11. The run weather was pretty gloomy as it drizzled through the whole hour, but temperature-wise, not so bad. Swag was mugs and yummy post-race hot chocolate.

I definitely underestimated the effect of adrenaline and racing en masse--it was much easier than I thought!

Getting excited to double that mileage...
