It's a huge event in my hometown and I wanted to be a part of it. I never thought I'd make it to that 10 mile distance, especially not on the timeline I did. Honestly, it was just one of those pie in the sky wishes for years that I never thought would actually happen.<br /><br />Even then, the idea was "just do it once to say you've done it," but I'll be going again this year. It's still kind of a mental block for me too. At both of my halfs so far, the 10 mile is kind of where I've crapped out too, and I think it's because I think "Crim's done, time to rest" as soon as I hit that 10.Vaudiophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120467461814379463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-4855706439861272432011-06-06T07:53:54.133-05:002011-06-06T07:53:54.133-05:00I've never raced a 10 miler, but I agree that ...I've never raced a 10 miler, but I agree that it'd be a nice little mental break from half marathons.

I like the finisher coin... very cool!<br /><br />I've done a few 10-mile races, local ones like the Medtronic TC 10 Mile and Women Run the Cities. 10 miles is a great distance for me because, like you, I tend the bonk the last 3.1 miles of a half-marathon.Richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392437691492957659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280571059554402649.post-25025790557772330202011-06-03T20:25:11.011-05:002011-06-03T20:25:11.011-05:00I have never done 10 miles.
