Running My First 10K | Running Essentials for Beginners | Peachtree Road Race 2024
Let me start with this: I am not a runner. I struggle with shin splints, I've had no desire to run in the past, but something in me pushed me to sign up for my first 10K and challenge myself. My 10K training has been focused on finishing instead of being fast. I looked up quite a few beginner 10K plans, but just decided this was more for mental health and personal wins instead of competing in the Peachtree Road Race.
For my 10K prep, I stocked up on running essentials from LuluLemon and LOVE Feetures socks. My husband and I then went to get my race day packet. I spent the day before the race carbing up to fuel my body, went to the gym to stretch, got to bed early, and felt ready for the race.
Running a 10K was never on my bucket list, but I am so proud of myself. I am now a runner 😌 Thanks for coming along on my first 10K journey!
