Race: Smiles for Sophie 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:24:12

Wasn't mentally in the game today, due to my fiancee's near drowning experience on the lake yesterday. That type of panic, mixed with a poor diet and no sleep = the exact opposite of my recipe for 5k success. Usually I am disappointed about a bad race for a few days but today I just felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude that Ryan is alive (in the hospital). Happy 4th!

Oh my gosh! What happened? I almost drowned the other day, but didn't end up in the hospital or anything. Anyway, you ran, and you'll do better next time!

Well, he got caught in a storm canoeing on Lake Erie and fell out about 3 miles from shore. Had nothing but a tiny piece of rubber to float with, and a jet-skier found him 5 hours after the coast guard found his empty canoe. He's out of the hospital now! How did you almost drown?

Now that is tremendously scary. What a survivor!

My experience wasn't as nearly that dramatic. You can read about it here: http://burt-mccumber.fastrunningblog.com/blog--These-20-miles-were-my-backpacking-m/06-30-2012.html
