just completed my first 10k race!
had a 7’15” pace and came in at 1:12.

photos to come later (when i’m less lazy) <3

work life
so i started work last week. so far it’s been a busy, tiring first 2 weeks. i havent had the time or energy to really keep up with my training :( at least i ran 3 times last week..
today, i was on my feet all day dealing with kids 7-12 years old. from 830am-4pm. that’s a major workout in itself, i reckon! lol.. but now i’m on my sofa after a nice hot shower with my feet up. im beat. sighhhhh.
i’ll try running tomorrow after work.
