Wheels stayed on, everything else seemed okay. Stayed within myself, still a run/walk but a solid check in on a beautiful day for one of our favorite races. Good signal that it’s time to start ramping it up. Back to racing by the fall, this will be an A race next year. Fuck the afib, fuck the back, fuck the knee, fuck COVID, fuck old age, I’ve fucking had it with this shit. Let’s fucking go. #RavenswoodRun5k #3RUN2 #ChicagoIsForRunners #running #RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong

#Flatrunner for tomorrow’s Ravenswood Run 5k. Same place we were last year: showing up and clawing our way back. No other expectations than to return to some kind of rhythm and finish and have a good time at one of the city’s iconic neighborhood races. #running #3RUN2 #ChicagoIsForRunners #RavenswoodRun5k RunFree #BreatheDeep #FinishStrong
