Ran off some frustration, anger, and grief. Ended up with my fastest 5k in over a decade. I’m less than 3:00 from my PR, which happened 13 years ago.
Hell yeah. I did it. 🏃♂️

Tweaked a muscle in my back last week, so I didn’t get a jog in. Nice slow 2 miler this morning to test it. All is well. Middle age is dumb. 😖🤣

First 5 miler in 2.5 months. Somehow, I’m only 3 seconds off that time. My legs are going to hate me. Hell, they already do. 😖

First 5k since 1/1/26. Went out a little too hot. Totally gassed the last mile. No matter. I trimmed 1:19 off that New Year’s time.

Cold temps and a gout flare-up kept me off the road for a week. So this morning was a little rough, and that’s okay. False spring starts tomorrow.

Somehow, with a 3.5 week forced layoff and a crap run earlier in the week, I ran my fastest 2 miler since I started jogging again. It helps that it’s 53° and my sinuses behaved. Jogging is weird. 🤣

3 weeks of unseasonably frigid temps, 2 winter storms, and a sinus infection kept me off the road for 3.5 weeks.
This morning it was 60° at 4:00 AM. Time to get back to it.

Stomach is off. Legs are wobbly. Sinuses are all gas no brakes. It’s stupid cold. I will take this 3 miler as a win.

If you would have told me a year ago I would voluntarily jog 5 miles, I’d have called you nuts. You’re still nuts. But you were right.

A steady 3 miler as I start to up the miles a bit. Sinuses behaved and the knees were a little sore, but (surprisingly) I feel good.
