I ran in my first ever 10K race tonight - the Meriter Hospital Nurse's Run. I may be fat and slow, but I finished and I only walked briefly through the 2 water stations.
Here's the summary from the online results:
age: 39
gender: M
overall place: 278 out of 294
division place: 40 out of 40
gender place: 139 out of 142
time: 1:06:27
pace: 10:42
So, once again I was last in my division. The same thing happened when I ran my first 5K last summer. It's a good thing I have no pride!
I was shooting for about 60 minutes, so I'm a little disappointed in my time, but I really did take it easy because with less than 3 weeks until my first half marathon I just don't want to get injured and my knees are finally starting to come around.
After this half marathon is over, I may need to start working on my speed - unless I get crazy and start training for a full marathon.

My mantra is someone has to be last and it might as well be me.
Having low standards works well for me I guess (LOL).
Good job on completing your first 10K and good luck with your upcoming half. I have my sights set on one myself in the fall.
