First 10K race ever! Never did I think I would love racing like this....this was the race that got me hooked on running! I remember being so never and one of my good friends who had been running with me asked do you want me to run and be your pacer? I said what's a pacer? haha
I had no experience racing. He came out ran with me and made sure I finished under an hour. He cheered me on the whole 6 miles. It was hard because I was not used to running all the hills. It was so fun to cross the finish line with him! I will never forget that race! I also remember telling him that was a good distance and that was as far as I wanted to run. I said I don't ever want to run a half marathon. Never say never!!
