I was feeling fantastic and crushed my initial goal completing the Alley Pond Park 5 Mile challenge in 34:26 (6:53 per mile).

Feeling tired, sore, and generally miserable, I somehow woke up at 7am today to tackle the Newport 10k. I caught wind of my arch rival during the race. By repeating my mantras and fighting until the very end, I completed the race in a stunning 42:08 (6:46 per mile). I also saw the spiderman jumpsuit girl from my 5k but left her in the dust for this race.

I ran the Newport 10k race pace wise as fast as I ran my best 5k (half the distance) last year! Working on my form all winter has really paid off. I feel like superman!

I just hope the cooking classes I'm taking don't slow me down!
