National Press Club 5K!


Today, Me, Dan, Blake, Justin T. Arrington, and Gabe ran the 11th Annual National Press Club 5K.

We all did well, and the best part was the pancake breakfast following the race which Gabe will get into more deeply.

We all have little tricks when we run, to pass the time. Sometimes just looking at all the people pushing hard keeps your adrenaline pumping, but other times you need to do something else. I, for instance, like to play a little game in my head where I look at everyone running and figure out who would be the easiest/hardest to murder. After I figure that out, I plan out how and where and most importantly when...

The other guys have their own techniques, for instance, Gabe likes to read his haf-torah portion while he runs, and Dan likes to stare and smile at people he's running next to until they are uncomfortable. Whatever your strategy is, keep running, and always remember if we can do it, you can do it (unless you are clearly obese or disabled.)
