Half of Phil

 So I had the idea to try again to get my 10 min mile average for a 5k by going to a track with the boy.  Well first off I couldn’t get my fat ass over the fence to use the track.  So I ended up trying in the bus lot while he did his track workout. Running in circles got old real quick and I still didn’t get the whole run done at that pace.  I did make the first mile though. This morning I finished my 100k for Dec run challenge on Strava. I haven’t 100% decided on my goals for 2021 yet.   I’m sure it’ll involve more running.  I think we are gonna be distancing still until summer at the earliest.  For 2020 I made my goal of running a 10k.  I missed on the others. Next committed update and 2021 goals to be set by 1/8.

 Few days late updating my blog.  Last week was pretty stressful.  Over the weekend we had a what used to be normal hectic schedule.  XC for my son at 10 am Sat and then a Soccer game at 2 pm.  He came in 2nd in the XC meet and his team won their soccer game!  So it was a cold but good day for sure. Sunday afternoon we did the Elfie5k in Locust, NC.  My MIL lives out that way and wanted us to run it, so we did our first in person run since February.  My son got 2nd place there but set a PR with time of 17:17!!!  The guy that won is just a crazy good runner and was nearly a minute under his pace.  I was able to finally finish a 5k in under 35 minutes which was my 2019 5k goal. We've started using Strava to track our runs, my sons XC team at school uses it.  And FitBit has been kinda buggy lately.  It has me with a PR mile effort sub 10 min!!  I don't know how accurate that is, it kept auto pausing if I'd stop to walk some.  Which I did because I started the race way too fast
