My First 10K Run

Let me TELL you my first 10K Run experience

Thankful for…

• Mandatory company run in Manulife. I have no choice but to participate 🙂
• People who are generous to share their tips and encouragement for someone who has sedentary lifestyle
• Enough time to prepare and discipline to wake up 4AM or 5AM in the morning
• Strength. There was a time I almost fainted in trying my first 5K practice.

Enjoyed…

• Gaining new friends in running
• Exploring the nature while running
• Musing while running

Learned…

• It’s never too late to start to be active
• To be patient on my pacing and not compare. It takes a process to be good at what you do!
• Music helps
• To have 20 min. run, 3-5 min. walk, and repeat
• Enjoy the race

Looking forward…

• Continue running
• Influence my husband to run too and do this together 🙂
• Join another run again, maybe try 16K or 21K
