Race Report & Life Update

On Sunday (one day late due to a Boy Scout Winter Camp Out), Daniel and I ran the Freeze Your Thorns Off Virtual 5K. I had no business "racing", but thought it might be a good start for two runners that haven't run once in three months. It was the first sunny day in Salt Lake in about a week due to the "inversion" (the Utah word for "smog"). Sunny, but 21 degrees when we left around 1pm. Since it was a 1st run back, my expectations were low and my fear of residual soreness was high. I guessed right! I ran the 3.1 miles in 37:57.42 (slow for me) and Daniel ran his in 34:25.01. It was good to get back out there and hopefully it'll provide some motivation to get back out there! ******************************************************************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************************************************************* ******************************************************************************************************************************* Otherwise, I've been singularly possessed since August with my PhD program. It has been the hardest thing I have ever attempted. I made it through the first semester with three As and an A-, some grey hair and a general lack of awareness that five months passed! Hopefully more posting and more running will happen in the new year!
