As the expression goes, I had fresh muscles from almost 2 months of not running and was happy to finish second in my age group making it the 348th 5K or longer race I’ve placed in since 2006 “just“ on plants. 😉 Pretty sure my lack of pain and quick recovery is due to an anti inflammatory diet.

Thanks to all the volunteers and runners at the Bridge a life Superhero5k at beautiful Nathan Benderson Park. Great to see so many running friends! If I missed anyone, please tag!
