I went running with a friend from a former client today. I have him on my Ragnar Relay team and we’ve been trying to hang out for a few months now. We did 6 miles and overall I was pretty happy with it. We finished in just about 10:00 min/mile pace.

So I’m officially in the race! I’m excited. I’m so excited I’m going to go for a run now. Ok, I was going to go for a run anyway. But I’m still excited!
