Today, I ran my first 10km charity run ever. I did it with my bf and his family, having been asked to go last minute. I there was a mixture of confidence and fear right before the race started; confidence because I know that I've definitely gotten fitter through my running over the winter break, something that was very noticeable during my basketball conditioning training last thursday where I barely broke a sweat during out team run. (Freaking KILLED the fitness training session that day! ^.^) Fear, because the most I've ever ran in one go (with 3 min breaks in between each 2.8km) is 7.2km. Their family is super fit, like, they go hiking for 6km+ every weekend for fun and workout at the Football Club whenever they have time. My bf also happens to play basketball and is also really fit. I thought to myself "Oh god, I'm going to be so slow and die midway during the race!" Though somehow, I finished the race just a mere 10 steps or so behind my bf and around 5-10mins before his dad, our overall time for the race being 1h and 3mins. I'm quite proud of myself really. Though I was a tad slower than my bf, even he could tell that I had gotten really fit because my recovery times and breathing was much better than his, he just has super long legs and runs faster. I didn't even get a stitch or a cramp! I was pretty amazed at myself. I really hope I keep this running thing up, I can see the changes in my fitness, not so much with my body or weight, but I hope it does eventually help! :D
