SILICON VALLEY 10K RACE... This year the Silicon Valley Marathon sponsored a 10K event, rather than a Half Marathon as last year. We took part in the 10K, and I'm please to report that I finished in 1:03:05, an improvement over my previous 10K times.

The table below shows the 5K & 10K races that I've participated in since starting my weight loss program. Each has served as an immovable, intermediate mini-goal. No procrastinating when there is a race deadline! I still have a lot of room for improvement - one step at a time...
