20°F/-7°C — sounds like perfect weather for a run, right? Well, at least it was nice and sunny!
This morning I ran in the Cupid’s Cup 5K in nearby Irondequoit. My wife and daughter braved the cold to cheer me on, as did my mom and dad, who I was surprised to see there just as I was heading out to the starting line.
A few of the side roads had some icy patches, but overall, the conditions were pretty decent.
I told myself that I was going to really push myself today. And, I did.
I finished with a new 5K PR of 23:13 (4:39/km; 7:29/mile), which put me…
- 30 of 659 overall (top 5%)
- 24 of 210 amongst all males (top 11%), and
- 4 of 25 in male 40 to 44 age group (top 16%)
So close to being in the top three for my age group! I strive to achieve this in 2019.
This was a great start to the 2019 race season!

Nice of Nix to take care of you. And I’m sure you will make that top 3!

Yes, yes, yes. (No, 20 F doesn’t sound fun, so I admire your bravery.)
