Yesterday was my 2nd race out of the three, the 10k. I was nervous about this one because it was double the distance of my last race. When I started off running I wasn't feeling to good but I got past it and finished my first mile in 8:33.
Once again, after my first mile I started to get side cramps again. My mom told me I shouldn't eat anything before I run. I had just eaten a small bowl of cheerios an hour and a half before the race started. I thought that would be ok but I guess not.
Nevertheless I kept going. I knew I wouldn't be able to run the entire thing. I am not it shape for that

so I ran as much as I could and walked a little bit, then ran, etc.
My goal for this race was 1hr:30 min because I figured that I would slow down a lot by the end of the race. However, I'm happy to say that my time was 1:11:15s.

But I must say that today I am SO sore. Clearly I still need to spend some time in the gym
In two weeks I will tackle the 10 miler. Hopefully I can keep my momentum going.
