After I ran a 20:08 while sick at the Turkey Trot last week, my wife said to me, "Is there a 5k you could run next week after you're feeling better [to make up for not achieving your goal]?" As it turned out, there was.
Of course, it was in 12-degree (fahrenheit) weather with snow and ice scattered throughout the course. But hey, a 19:56 is a 19:56, so I'll take it. I was also the first finisher over the age of 19 (I'm 32), and fourth place overall. I guess all the fast runners decided to stay home. Go figure.
Please forgive the humblebrag. I'm a little new to running, so this is sort of a big deal for me. It's also a victory that I managed to do it on less than 10 MPW of running.
