Run around the square

The cheering section

Yesterday was my first 5k race of the year - the Run Around the Square. I'm not really in great shape between an injury in July and then the distraction of Silas. Nonetheless, I had a decent time for me. 23:59. Placed 237th out of 1183 overall and 27th out of 76 in my age group (35-39). It was a good time. I felt strong for the first time since breaking my foot and getting back on the roads this year. I could have finished with a better time, but was being cautious and also get stuck in slow groups on the trails at a few places.

Bethany and Silas came down to cheer me on. It was fun to have them there. There were a lot of significant others with new babies at the finish line. I think it's a good world to introduce them to.

Bethany's learning how to feed Silas in public. :)
