On Saturday May 19th, 2007, I participated in the Shoreline Frontrunner's annual 10K pride run! It was an event that I had registered and was training for several weeks in anticipation. It was a lot of fun! It was also a lot of hard work, no matter how much you train, it seems the "real thing" is never as easy. I run most every day on track and treadmill at the gym, however when competing with people and running on the open beach path, it was a a different story. It was all good though. I had some good pacing after a great start where I pushed myself ahead of the pack. It was all great after that! My finish time was 40:58 and I was very happy with that, as I beat my pace time last fall in the 5k turkey trot.
I also came in 2nd for my age division, and was 5th overall for the 10K. I was very happy with that, and was glad that I completed the training to participate. What is next? We will see, another 10K or perhaps a half marathon?

WELL DONE!! That's an excellent time. My best time on a 10K is 46' something.
I know the training is hard, believe me, but it's really worth it. And now, up to the next level: a half marathon. It's probably even harder to train for it, but it's so, so much worth it when you cross the finish line.
So, come on Ken, don't give up!
