#hotdash

Today’s #longrun was done a bit piecemeal because in the middle of it I raced my virtual #hotdash 5K. The actual race last week may have been canceled, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still get out and enjoy a nice run. Even with social distancing, people out enjoying the day and being active. On a side note, last year I finished the #hotdash5k in 24:56. This year, my virtual time was 23:38 (and that was after a 5.5 mile preload.) @twincitiesinmotion https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Sd09KH1e9/?igshid=1un22yinxv826

While @twincitiesinmotion #hotdash 5K and 10-mile races were canceled, that didn’t stop me from donning last year’s shirt and getting out to run a 5K, which is what I registered for, plus another 10 miles just for fun. Okay, not JUST for fun. #ironmantraining continues despite social distancing. #cancersurvivor #cardiacarrestsurvivor #airplanearms https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AoI7InbiQ/?igshid=15vwo7odgpz88

I have struggled to get my 5k time back in the sub-25-minute range since last fall (#cardiacarrestsurvivor), but nailed it today at the #hotdash 5k—organized by @twincitiesinmotion Also lowered my 2019 best mile time down to 7:44. Now I just need to gear up for the #redwhiteandboomhalfmarathon this summer. 2019 Stats Miles Raced (run): 8.16 Powered by @asics @orbeabicycles @nuunhydration @garmin @vega_team @bostonscientific #bostonscientificdefibrillator #hotdash #hotdash5K #asics #asicsrunner #ironman2020 #roadtoironman #ironmantraining #cardiacarrest #cardiacarrestsurvivor #cardiacarresttoironman #noexcuses #whatIcanachieve #airplanearms https://www.instagram.com/p/BvYWf6KFp10/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15fwyz6qxprqr

This is a pretty cool medal. Definitely worth a #MedalMonday post. #HotDash #2018HotDash #HotDash10Mile #running #racemedal #TwinCitiesMN #TwinCitiesinMotion (at Hudson, Wisconsin)

I ran the 2018 10-mile Hot Dash this morning. It was the second of four races in the #UltraSummitChallenge. I finished in 1:57:48. I think that was the fastest that I have run a 10-mile race, but not the fastest running 10 miles if you count the first 10 miles in a half marathon. (I don't run many 10-mile races.) Considering my lack of training recently, I am happy with my time. In fact, I'm hoping for a lot of improvement by October... #HotDash2018 #HotDash #running #marathontraining #charityrunner

I can't believe that it has been five months since I finished all 26.2 miles of the Chicago Marathon. In those five months, I haven't run as much as I probably should have. In fact, it was difficult running just 3.1 miles today. Luckily, I have seven months until my next marathon. However, the 2018 Hot Dash 10 Mile run is only about two weeks away. It should be interesting to see how that goes... #ChicagoMarathon #ChicagoIL #26point2 #running #charityrunner #HotDash #HotDash2018 #TwinCitiesMarathon (at Chicago, Illinois)

#hotdash was definitely not hot. But we did it!#hereforthefitness #nowitsbrunchtime (at Boom Island Park)
