Narrative:
Day 1; leg 1 of a 4 day trip from ZZZ to ZZZ1. I was the pilot monitoring on this leg. Had not flown much in the last few weeks. Captain was PF. We flew to ZZZ1 at a pretty low altitude; I believe it was 14;000 feet cruise altitude. After starting the descent; we did not realize we had passed 10;000 feet so quickly; and noticed our speed was beyond 250 knots. The captain immediately slowed the descent rate and airspeed; in order to return to 250 knots.we were distracted. We were on the first leg of the trip; had woken up pretty early; and the fact that we cruised at such a low altitude were possibly all factors. We did not pay enough attention in the descent.I should have kept better monitoring skills during the descent and avoided distractions.
