Another 5k complete. Hit
My target pace and somehow still came in 2nd in my age group. Wore the provided Santa Suit (except
The beard). Destroyed the pants- whoops. Another great race. Only one more this year, 2 weeks off and we start the whole thing again!!!

Another successful 5k. The Fishercat Thanksgiving 5k. Placed in my division. The real kicker is that I was 0.1 sec slower than the 2nd place 20-25 doc AND 0.1 sec faster Than the third place 20-25. At least I was amused

Only 3 more races this year. I have already surpassed the goal of 100 racing miles with two successful 1/2 marathons. Already signing up for next years races, with a goal to run my first marathon (we will see) and increase racing mileage to 150. The insanity is real

Killed another 1/2 Marathon. 1:40:57, 2nd place in division. 760ft of ascent. Was allowed a picture with a retired Navy Seal. He is the tall good looking one

Getting ready for the Manchester 1/2 Marathon. Cold and rainy out and looks like a tough course. A bit concerned this is going to suck

Title: Old Man in Pain
This was at the finish line at the NE Half Marathon. Last 3 miles my quads were in pain. 3 days later I can almost walk normally.
Surprisingly I came in first in my age group.

Last Long Run before 1/2 marathon. 12 miles, 700ft ascent, 8:45 pace. Should be in good shape for the race in 2 weeks.

Had a nice 6 mile tempo run, added a few easy miles on the end for 10 total. I might actually be getting this distance running thing.

Pretty amused. For the first time I did not get old man running photo from the 5k. I was tucked in behind someone in the video, such that there was no still photo taken. I had no idea since I was pushing really hard that race and not paying any attention to others.

Fantastic 5k today. Ran very hard. Time 20:35, 11 seconds over PR. Garmin time for 5k was 20:15 (a wannabe PR). Delta due to course being 3.17k per Garmin. Still was 1st in age group. Looking forward to NE Half in a few weeks!!!

Last Happy Hour Hustle of the year. Cruised to a 12th place finish. Some steep hills to run/walk. Got my beer. Got my hoodie.

Chicken stir fry with onion, garlic, scapes, broccoli, 3 types of beans, ginger, purple sugar snap peas, cabbage, and Alma peppers. Most of the veggies from a very disappointing garden season.

Another 10 mile long run. Average pace 8:35 min/ mile. It felt significantly harder than a 10 mile race a few weeks ago that was at a faster pace and had more elevation. I hope the practice is harder than race holds up for the NE half marathon in 6 weeks
