10 miles!!!

Well our mileage yesterday was 10.25 miles under 3 hours! This was our personal record for a workout over a 10k distance. Our average pace was 17.23 min/mile. We will continue to shave off some time but our main goal in this first half marathon is just to be able to stay below the 18:00 pace; so we won't be kicked off the course and we will be able to finish the 13.1 mile White Rock course which includes several hill climbs.

We might come in last but we will finish and get our finisher's medal. I have a whole new perspective on all the Biblical references to running or racing.

Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.

Philippians 3:13-14
