1st 5K in Forever

I'll give you my first race recap in forever and then I'll try to say why I've been so absent.  If you remember me, you know I'm one for brevity but this one may stretch just a bit. A colleague and friend has been working on getting his fitness back and we do virtual check-ins with FB messages a few mornings a week to report on running and mental health status.  A local 5K I've been wanting to do was a "go" for this year and was held last Saturday.  it's called the Higgins Lake Sunrise Run
