Hershey 10k




This morning hubby and I signed up to run this.  I just saw it on Active.com's website and thought "hmmm...this looks like an interesting race."  I have never run a 10k before.  Sure, I've run the Harrisburg Mile, lots of 5ks, a couple 8ks, a 7 mile leg of a marathon relay, and 3 half marathons, but no 10ks.  I figured it's about time.

Of course, the following Saturday hubby and I are running the inaugural Soul of the City 10k in Baltimore which would have been my first 10k.  LOL!  Both should be really cool races.

Hershey 10k
* Run through Hershey Park before it opens
* Get a t-shirt
* Get a medal
* Finish on the track at the Hershey Park Arena

Soul of the City 10k
* Run through (hopefully) a new area of Baltimore
* Get a cool running jacket

* Run with our friend Ada again!


I'm looking forward to running both of these races now!  And I'm realizing my winter/spring months always seem to be jam-packed with races, then my summer and fall months are bare.  I may need to work on that.

What races do you have upcoming?  Ever run a race distance for the first time after running a longer race (i.e. I've run three half marathons, but never a 10k)?

  1. I will be at Hershey! I have never done a 10k before either--lots of 5ks, a few 10 milers and a half marathon, but not 10k. A medal for less than a half marathon? I'm in! See you there!

  2. Yea, the medal got me too! LOL! It's kinda hard to pass up a local race that gives you a medal. :-) And I thought running through Hershey Park sounded fun.
