Competed in a 5k this morning. First race in 15 years.

Sounds quite competitive. Was there prize money? Outside of yelling at the winner, any other arguments or issues we should discuss?

Excellent job Greg i hope you build copious momentum all the way to new York city or wherever your heart desires you to go.

I was genuinely concerned he was taking the wrong path.

I ran 2:54 marathon pace! And I'm overweight.

Did you bandit the race?

congrats, that's great to do that well after 15 years. have the bug to ramp it up now?

Translation: "I let him win, so I'm actually the double victor for being the person who actually would have run the race AND for being such a standup guy."

You are not subtle at all greg, we can all tell the conclusions you are dying for us to reach.

They'll get me in the official results. I am registered in their system, I just didn't print the scan code. But they'll figure it out. They know I came 2nd and they know my name.

One of the race volunteers used to compete for Canada in race walking and he remembered me (probably just the name) from years ago.

hahaha funny. He won. You can infer whatever you want.

Greg,

Congratulations!!! Good to see that the competitive fire is back and you gave a good effort.

We Expect Great Things in the future!

I would like to compete more. Next week I might volunteer at the same race.

They are weekly.

Thanks man! I will share official results, maybe later today if they are up.

You are not only overweight, you are full of s h i t!

You didn't run 2:54 marathon pace you just ran a lousy 20:40 for a 5k with no real competition.

Congrats on getting back in the game. About how old was the winner?

Greg if it makes you feel better I am 5'6", 190lbs, run 15-20mi a week and am quite certain I could break 20:00....

Someone who breaks 21, knows that people can break 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, and 13. At least Greg got off the boards and ran it today.

Congrats Greg. (now go get your shine box)

Greg,

Pay no attention to the naysayers. This is a good result for not having raced in 15 years. You’ll need to rest run a few more rust busters before the legs remember how to hold a fast pace.

Maybe 20? young, he said he did triathlons.

Yeah you could probably out bench me as well.

Congrats on getting back into racing, Greg.

Enjoy it.
