After finishing my first 5K race on May 2nd, I wasn’t so diligent about finding the time to keep my running up.  In May, I ran less than half of the distance that I covered in April.

I was pretty disappointed in myself for not finding the time or having the same focus as I committed to running in April, so I set a goal for myself to run 100KM in the month of June.

Running 100K in a month would mean that naturally, I would have to increase my distance for every run.  Previous to the month of June, the longest distance that I ran was 5.75KM.

The first Run, I aimed for a goal of 6K, then pushed it to 8K.  On June 30th, I was able to complete a 12K run!!

It’s interesting because I look back on how I felt when I started the Couch to 5K program, struggling to complete 60 seconds of running.  5K seemed like such a long distance, 10K seemed impossible.  The day that I completed the 12K run to reach the mark of 102Km in June, I felt such a huge sense of accomplishment.

Moving forward, I have signed up for the 2010 Detroit Half Marathon (21K) in October.  It is a lofty goal, but I have 3 months to train for it.
