Run, Forrest, Run
For the past few weeks, I’ve been up before 6:00 am every Saturday morning, running the local 5Ks. I’ve managed to PR every race so far, coming in with a 28:24 and chopping it down gradually. My current 5K PR is 25:50, set yesterday in Reynolds.

I have one more race before it gets too hot – the Run 4 Missions 5K next week. Run 4 Missions is my favorite local 5K. It’s put on by good people for a good cause with lots of competition and good amenities. Sure, Jay’s Hope had free Chic-Fil-A biscuits at the finish line, but Run 4 Missions had ice cream!

It’s getting way too warm outside to run. I run best between 45 – 70 degrees. When it hits 80+, I would rather be inside. I guess I can hit the dreadmills at work to stay in shape during the summer. Ironically, we had a used treadmill here at the house for several years, but gave it away because nobody used it. Then, I started running. Figures.

Well you’re up to a lot lately. So I am I. I just interviewed this week for another job at UGA. I should know something by the end of next week or so. Plus I have been distracted by local news regarding the Professor. Crazy. I was getting my hair cut in Athens when the text came through.

Jonathan,
I run best around those temperatures, too. You are actually inspiring and tempting me to run in some sort of race…I’ve been running/jogging well for a year now…and I am not there yet, but I am getting better. It’s awesome that you participate in these races…not only it gets you into shape, but it really give you something to be proud of outside of family, work, school, etc.
