Officially started training for my next 10k yesterday!

Officially started training for my next 10k yesterday!I'm behind where I thought I would be, since my HR was entirely too high at a 5k I did in June. I struggled bigly! I have been working on training my HR and did another 5k after that and slowed my pace a lot. During my training, I have been working on hills too, since I am terrible about keeping my HR down during hills. I've got a plan and as long as I can do each step, I should be good. I've got 2 1/2 months.
