After a lackluster 2019, I jacked up my mileage in the spring of 2020 and was looking forward to rewriting my PR book. Then covid hit and all the races I had set my sights on that summer got cancelled. I ran every day in June 2020 and generally felt good, but only “raced” once. On the morning of Saturday, June 13—the day that would have been the Bellin Run 10k—Justin, my dad and I set out to the new Marshfield Sr. High track to attempt a sub 17 minute 5k. Justin had pacing duties. The attempt was successful. I completed the twelve and a half laps in 16:53, 27 seconds faster than my previous 5k low. Unfortunately, it didn’t go quite as well for the old man- he had to drop out two laps in, after his heart went into atrial fibrillation. The weather that morning was ideal. Mostly sunny with a temp in the mid 40s.

On another note unrelated to running, I bought a kayak...
