Another milestone
I ran 10 miles today in 2:00, which isn't exactly Olympian speed but it is fast enough for me. I think the Seafair Half Marathon is calling my name. I am setting tentative goals to a) finish, b) finish in 3:00, and c) not get passed by any walkers. Honestly, I think I can definitely finish in 2:30-3:00, which would be pretty damned satisfying for a formerly-300 lb. pack-a-day smoker. Once I have a baseline to work with, I can train for something else and set better/faster goals, but as I noted previously, every journey begins with a single step (although I'll probably skip the fun hat this time).
Update: I registered. Now, let's see how badly Dan kicks my ass.
