🌅 #100DoPP d8: #iwokeuplikethis #NPSF #sunrise6k done! 39:52 in ~42F. #nofilter.

I was finally in town (and not injured!) for a @Nov_Project_SF Sunrise 6k race, and finished, hitting my sub-40-min goal by mere seconds.

This morning was yet another exercise in facing my cold weather breathing demons and stubbornly overcoming them breathing through a buff the whole time til I sprinted to the finish to get my sub-40.

Pretty sure I was the “slowest” with my 39:52 finish (results at https://tracking.november-project.com/events/4504); our speedy co-leader Paddy O’Leary lapped me before I’d even finished my first of three laps! He ran literally more than twice as fast as me 😂. I’m grateful to hangout with such amazing (super)humans.

However, I got the satisfaction of finishing a 6k, and seeing *that* dawn & sunrise before most of my friends were hitting their snooze buttons. #whileyouweresleeping

Next up: In nine days I will race my ninth half marathon, the Surf City Half in Huntington Beach, California for the second time, with my dad (our fourth half together).
