Loved the appreciation of the fast 5k here. Sometimes feels like only Ultras are the thing 😁 and for me personally I always prefer the 5k over everything longer. But I’m tying to get out of that comfort zone this year by racing some 10ks and HM!
This is great! I'm doing a 5K tomorrow. I'm a triathlete, mostly long course like 70.3 and Ironman, but I need work on faster running. So we're headed to the Monticello Kiwanis Club Watermelon 5K. (If they don't have watermelon I'm going to claim false advertising.) It's 90 here in FL and likely to be humid in the early AM. In talking with my coaches about pacing, I was uncertain. My female coach said, "Use the first mile to build and stay conservative. Don't be gassed at mile 1." My male coach said, "You should feel like dog @#$% from mile 1.5 on." Charming. It's always fun having a husband-wife pair for coaches.
Congrats on your speedy 5K. It’s been two decades since I could break 20 in the 5K. BTW funny thing about AARP: they’re trying to rebrand as the magazine & voice for Gen Xers, not retirees or “seniors.” They contacted me for a photo shoot for their instagram to show a 50+ woman mountain running. I actually read their magazine for the first time this month because Bon Jovi is on the cover 😜

"As we face ourselves daily—working through fear, doubt, and occasional bouts of confidence—can we find faith in process? ..."
LOVE THIS. Love YOU.
Also, Seniors Rule. 🤘👵🤘
Yeah, we do!

This prompted me to investigate. A free magazine (Bon Jovi!) and 15% off at Denny's? Considering.
Haha! I admit I’m kinda obsessed with the new Bon Jovi documentary on Hulu and wallowing in 80s sounds and fashions.
Aaaand I officially just started following AARP on Instagram. Cool, cool, cool.
Haha thx!
