10k is a tough distance to master. Fast, but long enough to really test your resolve. I hope you had fun and reached your goal!
Just finished the Honolulu marathon on sunday. Now that was a tough distance that I haven't even come close to mastering. Came in 4970th place out of 26,000.
You look a bit bulky for a marathon runner. Marathon runners are a select few, both lightweight and Type A. I don't think anyone who isn't more then a little crazy "masters" that distance.
I'd be happy with a finish in the top 20%. Well done.
Distance running is all a head game.
