Race Recap- My First 10K!
Yesterday I ran the Monument 10K, which (I’ve heard) is one of the 20 largest races in the country! I’m not surprised, considering there were 40,000 people signed up! I couldn’t believe how many runners there were, and I REALLY couldn’t believe how much support there was!
There were bands playing at every corner, there were people cheering us on the whole way. Definitely the most fun 6 miles I’d ever run!
Before the race:
I don’t have any pictures from the actual race yet, but the race website should have some posted soon!
I didn’t run fast, (Eric and I stuck together for the whole race, and we finished in just over 62 min) but I had fun, and that’s what matters! It was a little tricky navigating through such a large crowd, but I will definitely do it again next year!
After the race, Eric and I decided we needed to have a huge brunch, complete with mimosas!
On my plate is TJ’s Soy Chorizo, stir fried with some potatoes, peppers, and a little cheese, served with a sunny side “down” egg ๐ On that plate in the background is TJ’s Pumpkin Pancakes, with pecans. SO delicious. My tummy was very pleased. Oh, and the mimosa was fresh pineapple juice + champagne. So tasty.
So now I can check the 10k off my list of goals! I think I’m going to try a 10 miler next… and hopefully work my way up to a half marathon!
What goals have you checked off recently? Have you added any new ones?

Way to go!! ๐
So cool that you came to Richmond for the race! The Monument Ave 10K is one of my very favorite races and this year the weather was perfect. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Congrats on the 10k!! I’ve never even done a 5k so I can imagine how hard core that must have been ๐
way to go, chicky! that is AWESOME.
Congratulations! I’m impressed! And I love that pink top. You must have looked stylin’ (if somewhat sweaty) crossing that finish line!
congratulations on your 10 k I have never run a race but definitely want to !
Congratulations on you 10k! I’ve only done a 5k, but I want to do more! ๐
Wow! Congrats! I’m seriously impressed with runners! i’m sure you had a great time! My goal this year is to sell my first piece of clothing to someone I don’t personally know (I’m a fashion designer :D)

I just signed the lease for my first apartment. So my goal of starting a rental history and getting a credit score is well under way! And you look so darn cute in your pre-race picture.
Congrats on your first 10K! And what an awesome celebratory brunch.
I goal I recently accomplished was getting straight-A’s while balancing my crazy musical rehearsal schedule ๐
