2019 has been a busy year, to say the least. Beginning in March, I was traveling every few weeks, which left precious little time for weekend races. If I wasn’t out of town, I was making sure I was actually present at home, rather than taking half a weekend day out to run. I didn’t want to let the whole summer slip by without race, though, and wanted to give Grace a chance to run again, so we picked off one of the last nearby towns, Ansonia, for an evening 5K this week. She’s gotten quicker (and less in need of breaks) with every race, and still seems to be enjoying herself. Aimee and Lucy did the 2 mile walk, and Lucy ran along with us for the last quarter mile or so, staking her claim to run a race with me soon.
