HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

In celebration of all the dad's everywhere, we ran 10kms today! We completed in 1hr 10mins - not too shabby! Here is how we felt about it:

ROBYN:
Holy shit, we did it. Crazy! I've come to learn that my first two kms are a breeze and that I absolutely hate kms three, four and five. After that, although it was tough, I seemed to find my zone and was able to get through the last five kms without a problem. The best part of running is making yourself push through the parts that suck -- stopping is the easy thing to do and no one ever got anywhere by taking the easy route. We would like to complete the race in an hour so the next time we go out, we're going to run 5km and increase our speed a little bit. Sounds like a good plan, we'll see how it goes on Tuesday!

ADAM:
I've just gotten over a cold, so today was much harder than usual. Today I found every single km was extra difficult. We managed to pull through. I found 7-10km the most difficult. The most important thing is that we finally did it. Now we just need to shave 10 minutes off. I think we should be able to pull it off. I've also been thinking about how on race day there might be some extra adrenaline kicking and the competitive spirit should be flowing freely. Alright, time to wind down and watch some True Blood. Take care....and thanks a lot for the support!
