Current (immediate) goals?

I thought it was time for another post!

Yesterday I ran a 10k, instead of the ½-marathon I hadn't gotten in shape for. I'm not sure what my time was, as my chip either malfunctioned or was not my chip. If a team-mate's chip was functioning correctly, though, my time was under 1:07:00, which is my best time yet, so yay. Also it was my first race in pouring rain, which was fun, at least after the fact :oD

My current immediate goal is to give my knee a few days' rest, then work towards running 5.5k in 35 mins.

Another goal is to find someone to drive me to participate in a 10k race in hilly country August 29th. Since I'm used to running in very, very flat country, it'll probably be killer, but hopefully fun and w/ pretty scenery.

What about you?

Congratulations on your run!

I did a 10k on the weekend as well - it was a hill run with a very steep bit in the middle where the course went straight up the hill rather than just circling around it in an undulating fashion. Naturally this was the point when it started raining, although at least it stopped again after five minutes or so. I had one horrible 5k in driving rain where I'd worn long, loose running trouser things, and they got so heavy with water that they kept falling down!

Immediate plans - another 10k in a month, hopefully a little bit faster than my last one.
