Actifit 10-12-19: going for a 10k

Its been a few days and the weather has cooled down considerably. Just the other day it was perfect around mid 70s or so. Then the next more low 50s if not lower.

After work I laid back for a few hours and went out around 7pm. Temp was somewhere in the 60s. It was colder, but definitely manageable for running. After a couple of minutes my body was warmed up and soon running felt like just about any other night.

Today I was aiming for a 30 minute run, but when a song I was listening to ended around 32 min, I just wanted to keep on pushing. It wasn't all too bad to be honest. I thought it was rather manageable up to the 8km mark. By that point my legs were certainly starting to feel the distance.

But i just kept going. Kept my head up, switched my playlist around and going forward. This is the first 10k I've done with just running. It was certainly tiring at the end, but it feels good to get it done. I'm not planning on running another 10k for a while, so I might limit my runs down to 6 or 7 km for now.

And these would be all of my splits for each km. I think I kicked it a bit too hard at points, otherwise I wouldn't say it's too bad to start. I've knocked 10 minutes off my pb for the 10k and hope to keep that up or get it lower with more training over these next few months.
