Race Day

The May Day 5K is a big fundraising event that I help organize every year. This year we had the race professionally timed by Auyer Timing, so Christina and I both took the opportunity to run the race. It was my PR for a 5K - yay! My goal was sub 24 and I hit it. I took a full mile and a bit to catch Xander and his friend Drew and when I caught them Xander promptly hopped in front of me to block me!! He only finished 1 minute behind me again - we're both getting more determined I think.

    Today, we got up early and we got ready quietly before hopping in the car for the drive to the OnCenter. We routinely get up at 5 am now, and it wasn’t that much different to get up a little before 4.

    Skunk Cabbage 10K 2023

    Scott and I signed up for the half marathon version of this. In fact, I’ve not done the 10K in years. But, my mileage has been low since my hamstring injury during the Philly marathon, and I deemed it prudent to change my registration to the 10K.

    This was my 2nd time running the Philadelphia Marathon. It was Elizabeth's first marathon and Scott's first time running this race. I faced a series of challenges, but ultimately did finish.
