Oak Park 5k. More than 8 minutes slower than in 2016...and I thought I was running fine! Definitely not DFL; a 92-yr old had that honor...if he finished. We traded pleasantries in the first mile; then I pulled ahead of his slow walk.
Kind of a charade to attend these races, and be the cause of race marshalls having to delay wrapping it up until I slog by. But nothing gives me the aerobic workout as I get trying to run fast. So I think I'll continue to selectively sign up for additional races this season. I guess I'm lucky I can run at all; I might as well enjoy it!
