Back!


Not back to Philly, but back online... Alaska was amazing. Not much to report on the running side of things (for the sake of logging: 45min on Sunday, 1hr on Wednesday, 25min on Friday, and a warmup + 5k race today) but kayaked the first half, and hiked the second.

Two exciting pieces of news:
  • My lottery number came up for NYC! My training is now organized around November 2.
  • I ran a little 5k this morning here in Anchorage and placed third overall and won my age bracket! More on that later--it involves kicking in the last mile to beat a military-looking guy, then letting up in the last quarter to let a local middle-schooler ("Gil") have second. By my watch my time was just under 20min, but I'll wait for the official results.
