It has been almost 9 months since I crossed the 5k running mark for the first time in my life. Running is one of the most enjoyable things I do. I have been running between 5 and 7 kilometers ever since. I wanted to run 10 kilometers and finally I am confident of doing it. So, on 28th (or 29th depending on the weather) I am going to run 10k. That is little bit more than 2 rounds on the beautiful green lake running track in Seattle. Do you want to join me? I can guarantee you that it would amazing 🙂
