Of all the stories I've read here on RA, this has been the one that I've been most interested/invested in. What a mission!

Good work Mikey.

Couldn't agree more, well done!

Nice. 37 pages, just on this thread. Probably another 80+ everywhere else. Just for a 5K. Not an easy distance to race. Not an easy goal.

This morning in Cambridge, MA I ran 16:59.44 (PR) in a USATF certified 5k. I am free.

Don't stop. Don't ever stop.

Damn, man, I am so happy for you.

Awesome. Inspiring. Congrats.

A list of my PRs in a misguided attempt to impress people that do not care.

Thanks guys, sincerely. That PR was about to have it's 10th birthday in May and that would have been a rough milestone.

Good to know I'm as fast (or faster) than I was when I was 34. That seems like a lifetime ago.

Very, very impressive! Congrats!
