10k victory!

ok, so it wasn't a real 10k, and the only person i was racing against was myself, but i'm really happy and sort of surprised at how well my run went yesterday. i did it on the treadmill so i know it's not a 'real' 10k time, but still:

10k (6.2 mi) in 51:06.

average speed: 8:14 minutes/mile.

yay! the last time i did a 'race' of 10k it was something like 55 minutes! i think that part of it was just learning how fast i *can* tolerate running, and the other part is that i'm getting faster for real. who would have thought!?
