At Least Now It’s a Race
Today’s 5k time = 25:35.
In four days I carved almost three minutes off my 5k time. I’ll rest tomorrow, then comes the really tough part. With two weeks left until the race, I’ve still got to slice another 40 seconds per mile to have a chance against Viper.
Better yet, even if I don’t improve a single second more, I’ve worked my way out of the possibility of a “disgraceful trouncing” to manage a “distant second.” The next stages will be:
Respectable
Close
Barn-burner
Nail-biter
Squeaker
Photo finish
Win.



I hope we make it all the way down to “photo finish” on your list, but no further. Nice progress.
This is me killing you with kindness.
Careful there. Your readers might start to think you’re a human being, and we can’t have that.
Wow. This is like Duel in the Sun, except with slow guys over short distance in different cities and no drama.
I like barn-burner, but only if you’re the one setting things on fire.
Go Mike! :)
