I just finished a 10.027km running that lasted about 0hh:52mm:24ss !
The day finally arrived. After almost three months of the running streak that I started back in May 2020, I managed to complete a 10K today. But, it was not all rosy. I almost died - not literally but it was not easy for sure.
Started off this morning after almost 4 days of not running, eating junk and no exercising. I thought it would not be easy to run a 10K. I ran the first kilometer with an easy pace. That gave me strength to continue until I hit 5K. The first 5K was on the park with usual routing and speed. I knew I was running bit slower and I still had bit of gas left in my tank to run further.
After 5K, I took a new route to continue until I hit 7-8 KM. I had ran a couple of long distances in the last two weeks. Once I hit the 8K, my ego took over. I thought this is an opportunity for me to finally crack that 10K mark. I continued and pushed myself. The last two KMs of the 10K was possible just because I was stubborn and not because I was capable of doing it. It happened, finally.
As expected, the run was not easy on me. Most of my run was on heart zone 3 and 4. It was treacherous out there with the heat and sun. I am happy that I could manage my pace throughout the run. Specially, in the first two miles the pace management was conscious and to the point.
The 10K happened and I am happy about it.
