Sloth vs Gazelle

OK.... we all know that I am Miss Slowsky right ?  It's true... but I had an lightbulb above my head the other day and realized I'm just not competitive enough to take all this running stuff seriously.  I love it because I can have margaritas,  and because the people are awesome,  but in general,  I'm fairly confident that I won't be breaking any land speed records.   And I figured out I was non-competitive during the Wenatchee 10K... when I was more pleased with watching the river, and people walking their dogs and just being pleased at how pretty the course was than paying attention to a time :)  

HOWEVER... I do realize there are those of us out there that truly want to have a killer time for a race... and feel better when they get a great time.  And usually,  I'm the one cheering loudest :) 

Sooo.... here's a cool pace chart I found...  check it out... for future reference,  I'm a 10 to 11 minute kinda girl minus the shin splint... a 12 to 14 minute kinda girl with shin splint.
