How'd He Do It?

So here it is...my first ever 10k run. I did it...I wasn't fast by any stretch and I wiped out on a slippery section of plank walkway bruising my , knee, hip, elbow and swelling my wrist a bit. I also seem to have whiplashed my neck but it is slowly abetting. It rained that morning and there was a light sprinkling during the race but overall things were good. It is weird to run at Beaver Lake with so many on the trail. I did not stop to walk except for right after my wipeout...to let the pack that was behind me pass safely...Strange meandering finish that crossed back over the path of those doing the 5k walk. I finished and through my heaving breath I managed a smile and a small laugh....I just ran 6+ miles...I fully believe that ANYTHING is possible...I feel great about this achievement and it is inspiring me to push harder to see how far I can go!
