Yesterday, the Call to Duty Memorial 10K (Gorham, NH). Gun time: 35:15. Overall: 2/48. Mile pace: 5:41. A reminder to myself there will forever be, at a minimum, 1 person faster than me in every race. 🤬And maybe that’s ok. 😤 calltodutymemorial.carrd.co/ #BqChat

401ks are stupid. Try running shorter distances instead.
