Contentment Through Failure

Well, I didn’t finish first in the Shamrock 5k…but I did finish third overall with my fastest time (16:23; 5:17 pace) from the last couple of years, so I’m altogether happy with my output. Could I have run faster? I’m sure. But I learned long ago that in running, there is generally something regarding your result about which you can be pleased. And on Friday, I had a good time (both on the clock and in my head) and the legs felt good after. Next race: The Boston Marathon.

It’s a mad dash to get to the race’s first turn…



…after which most everyone realized that I’m faster than them.



Also, I ran 21.07 miles in 2:38:14 (7:31 pace) on Sunday.
