Summer is Here

The racing season is upon us. Thus far things are going okay.  It started with a poor performance at the 10Kato on Memorial day.  The performance was not poor because I was out of shape, I had a terrible cough for about 2 weeks that I did not go and see anyone about.  So it is on me and if anything has served as motivation. 

Since then I have started my summer training and had two stroller races.  The First was Arlington 5k, normally this is a 4miler but it had changed race directors at the last minute so things were not normal to put it lightly. The race itself was not great I went out too fast with the stroller (6:05).  From there I struggled, but managed to stay in the top 5 overall. Only to be beaten by high school runners.  The most recent race was the Sauerkraut Days 5k in Henderson.  Things went well here I PR’d with the stroller with a 19:32 was ninth overall and only two none high school kids beat me.  I was able to manage a top ten overall and was again the top in my age group. 


The next race is a none stroller race on the Fourth of July in St. Peter and is an 8k.
