because let’s face it, most local running groups are pretty exclusionary, and runners in general are kinda dicks

I've tried to join a few local run groups over the years, but never found them very welcoming, so yea I agree. But I also like running by myself. The only thing I have trouble doing on my own is speed work. I may reach out to a few faster runners I know, to join them for some speed work every other week or so.

The plan this winter and spring is to run 5-6 5k races and try to get my time as close to 20:00 or under as I can. Two years ago I was in the low 21:00s when I got injured, and I seem to be in shape to make another run at it. Then I plan to run a half in the fall and a marathon next winter.

Merry Christmas and I hope Santa leaves you all some cool running gear!
