'Morning! Happy Football Season! So how r u?

My team is down 7 thanks to a pick 6, same as last year. 

19:36 in my 5K.  I had a PR going until a hill at mile 2.5 killed me and I could not recover. 3/82 OA. 1 and 2 OA were also slow.

Strong. 💪

Mostly.

 

It's not recovering -- the second quarter is uphill and the third is downhill.  I KNEW this.  I should have been able to handle it.  Instead I ran the second quarter even slower than I did two years ago.  Because I fucking suck.

So just ignore the 5:42 first quarter? Got it.

Not ignoring it -- it just proves how terrible I am at this, because I DON'T think I went out too fast, considering the first quarter is downhill.  There is really no reason at all for me to have failed again.  (Unless I start going down the road of thinking that even though I did get faster when I got heavier, I may have reached a point of diminishing returns.  And I refuse to go there.)

I'll just leave this pre-race photo here...

 

He probably ran faster than me, I bet...

Of all people - where's the swag report??

20 miles done. 70 for the week. Now football. This is the problem with WC time, I miss half of the early game. But I do get to stay up till the end of all the night games. Used to be I frequently wouldn't bother, knowing I'd have to go to bed by halftime. Since we moved out here, my wife thinks I just suddenly like football, because there are 3 nights a week she sees me watching when I often didn't before.
