Ran the Redhook 5K in Portsmouth NH this morning with my fiance' Erin. Final result was a minimal improvement in my barefoot 5K time. Ended up 20:23. I'll take it since I have been running a fever for about 24 hours and it felt so humid out there today.
I met a nice gentleman named Preston Curtis today. He came to the race for race day registration but the race was closed. It seems we have just barely been missing each other at events and even run in similar locations in Portsmouth sometimes. It was great talking to someone who has some real experience going barefoot and can relate. Looking forward to running with him at some point.
Erin's race number was 2009. We both thought it was a unique sign perhaps because we are getting married this year. She often has good luck and strange things happen to her. I often joke that she will lose her luck when she marries me.
Next up is a 5k on June 7th in Newmarket.

Hi Ben, I had a go but couldn't beat your time. I finished my first BF 5K in 20:47. Happy enough with that as it's a big improvement on my time in March but I'm really just returning to form.
Try not to raise the bar too high on your June 7th 5K. ;-)
