FIVE AFTER FIVE WRAPUP
No D-Run for the Turtle Tonight
Wednesday, May 21, 2025
I had planned to go out to Utica tonight for week 3 of the D-Runs and the wrap-up for 5 After 5... except when I set Waze up to get me there, it recommended an unusual direction and indicated it would take me and extra 30 minutes to get there. I decided to give it a try anyway, until I got to Everett Rd and discovered that I90 was a parking lot. Deciding there wasn't much point in sitting in traffic for half an hour (plus I had a lot of work to do for school) I looped around and headed back home.
I'm a bit bummed I didn't make it out there to do another trek up to the eagle and back... but it will be good to get a little more sleep tonight, since I can get an earlier start on the work I need to have done by tomorrow.

FIVE AFTER FIVE, DAY 7
Someone Is Laughing at Me
Monday, May 12, 2025
Each day 5 After 5 offers us a particular challenge - today's was to do something speedy, which I intended to ignore. I'm a turtle, not a cheetah!
Except - when I went out to my car to drive to school, it wouldn't start. And my jump starter didn't have enough charge.
So I hustled to school on foot, averaging just under 17 min miles (I usually walk at a 20+ min/mile pace) to get there as close to the start of my first class as I could. So much for not doing anything speedy.
After school I tested the battery in the car (the tester suggested the battery isn't good) and successfully used the charged jump starter to get it running. Bought a new battery and some hardware to secure it, and spent an hour after getting back installing the darn thing. Now I seem to have a consistently working car again, though the real test will be when it does or doesn't start tomorrow morning.
No bike ride tonight, bummer.

UTICA ROAD RUNNERS FIVE AFTER FIVE CHALLENGE 2025
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
The Utica Road Runners started their Five After Five Challenge in 2021. Starting the day after May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) participants have 15 days to run or walk 5k or 5mi each day, 50k or 50mi total, or the truly insane 5k/5mi every 5 hrs for 55 hours.
The first year I tackled the five miles a day option and it was TOUGH. While I was typically averaging 5+ miles a day each week, I would usually do more some days and less others. Subsequent years I opted for the 5k a day option (prior to this year, the 50k/50mi in 15 days didn't seem all that challenging... and as crazy as I am, the thought of trying to do the 55 hr challenge is just too nuts.
So for the 5th time, starting today and going until May 21, I'll be covering at least 5k a day on foot. Not a big deal on my running days... but it's going to be a challenge in the days in between, especially since I also want to increase my riding now that the weather is warmer.
