Notes
I so wish I was in better shape to throw down a 10k and go out with my name on a stud list, but that’s not what I could do today. I ran a 5k because I can take more confidence from running a 15:55 in a suboptimal training cycle rather than a solo 10k. The plan was to just ride 16:00 pace and kick. I was able just to zone into Noah’s back for a while, and casually checked splits to see how we were and at 3k we were like 4 seconds slow, and with 1200 to go I started to move up around Noah and Addison and Tyler and I felt ty push me forward a bit and I just tried to slowly gap them and finished like 15:55. I’m happy with it and I was reminded throughout the race why I love this sport. Al being there made it mean a little bit more. I’m pissed off for him but I feel like there’s nothing I can do. Honestly that’s kinda how I feel about the world right now between that, people just goijg around as normal during COVID, all the political “our side is blameless, their side is satanic nazi fuckers”. But I digress. Happy woth running, it’s an escape from the world and a place where I can strive with those around me to be the best versions of ourselves.
