I am challenging myself with racewalking a 5k in under 35 minutes. Given that I have a bad left foot this will be an extra special challenge that I am still going to try and tackle. My foot surgery will be in late December (Just in time for Christmas) so I have a lot to accomplish in a few short months. Here I will track what I do along with my racing pal Elaine Meier.

It was cold and windy and we kept wondering where the 1/2 point was but we finished without quitting which says alot for my first race in over 10 years. There were 173 participants and I am just happy that I finished and wasn't last.
