October 27th through November 2nd-Good Stuff

Sunday-Charlestown FOP 5k, 16:27 2nd
RESULTS

Big day for me.  As my audience knows, I love 5ks.  I love the feel, the strategy (none), and the length.  For one reason or another, I hadn't run this race since it's inaugural year, 2005.  I also happened to win the race that year in 16:05.  Since then, my running career has been a roller coaster ride.  The one constant has been my love of the sport.  I haven't come close to that 16:06 since 2006. Since my 2010 running resurrection, I hadn't run a time under 16:30.  Lately, I've had self doubt about running faster times again.  After today's race, I'm ecstatic since I now know I can still get under 16:30 on a good day.  Now, 16:20 would be really nice..

Other Good Stuff:
Jonny- 17:04 PR
Gazelle-17:33 PR
Rhody Seth-17:57 PR
Matthew-18:59 (after racing middle school championships the day before)
Boumenot-19:06-strong showing and continuing in comeback from injury.
