    Wow!  Coming off a sickness and got within 12 seconds.  That is awesome, man.
    Don't think about the spots where the 12 could have been made up, think of all the spots you hammered through to get within 12 seconds.
    Don't worry, my quads are telling there was nowhere I could make up the 12 seconds. I pushed hard. I averaged 6:49 pace, course was a little over at 13.22 miles. I'm happy. And it's a 2 min PB
    My splits.... I've never run this consistent before
    Great job!  1:30 is an amazing time!

    Your consistency is mind blowing.  Looks like you were in a very nice flow during the race.

    I have never been that consistent before, it definitely clicked on the day, no less painful though 😂

    Sports medicine Dr thinks I have a nerve impingement in my pelvis. They are sending me for 2 more MRIs and an EMG (a nerve study test). Hopefully they can figure this out soon.

    Wow! I also hope they can figure it out and start treating it soon. Sounds painful. Hope you are ok.

    Thanks.

    Overall it's usually not that painful, most days I hardly notice it. But it's preventing me from running, taking brisk walks, cycling, using a recumbent bike, doing any sort of weight bearing exercise on it, as all of that flares it up.

    Ran the 5k with my 9 yr old son,this AM
      He's been training with me, taking a weekly run of 2 miles, on average.  He did run 3.1, once, about a month ago.  Stopped for a number of walks, and was inconsistent. 
    Waiting for the official time, since I hit my watch off and back on, once, trying to answer his 17th question as we ran.  :lol:

    What I show is 26:40.
    923
    852
    824
    Kid was calm, throughout, and didn't want to go faster.  I picked up the pace a bit each mile, and just kept encouraging him.  
    Funny that when we hit the sprint button with about 200 meters left,he actually had a lot left for it.  I had to dig deep to be ahead of him at the line once I actually turned back ans focused on myself.  :lol:

    We run a 1 mile race (after which I will 5k) in December.  Wonder if he can get in the 7s, there.  

    He loved (loved!) that we beat so many others.  Will wait to see what the official finish is for us,relative to others, but I'm very pleased that he had such fun with it and was competitive about it.
    We play all sorts of sports with him but so far running is what I see he seems predisposed to be decent at.

    That’s amazing (and I can’t believe he is already 9). Maybe he will go out for track in high school. I bet it is so fun sharing this experience with him.

    Race Day! Ran my first 10K race and really happy with it. Total time was 1:08 but the race was closer to 6.5 km. My 10K time was 1:06 which was 12 minutes faster than my previous times running that distance. 5K time was 32:32 which was about 30 seconds better than my previous best. Given how little I ran in September and have been playing catch up since, I'm feeling good about today. Good encouragement to get me through the next six weeks to my half!

    So the backyard ultra world championships are going on right now.

    It's a 4 mile loop every hour, on the hour. If you aren't at the start line at the start of each hour you are eliminated.

    Last I heard they are into DAY 4! 19 runners left, on loop 76 THATS 304 MILES! 🤯

    97 laps in, 8 people left, from what I can see!  At this point it shows them over 400 miles!

    I can't imagine going for 1 day, but these people are made of completely different stuff.  Their mental strength has to be so far off the charts.
    Really awesome stuff.
