Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, Life As I See It! This blog is just a place for me to share my thoughts on, well, everyday life. We all have stories and thoughts to share, so I figured I would just start up a blog to put some of mine out there.

I began running more seriously in 2016, so I will tend to post about the races I run. I am also a cybersecurity student, graduating in the fall of 2020. Thus, you will also see some IT, cybersecurity, and related content on here as well. Another passion of mine is cooking. So, from time to time, I might post a recipe I have come up with or refined. It really is all about, well, life!

Thanks for stopping by and, if you have any thoughts to share on my topics, please feel free to comment and let me/us/the world know! Cheers!

2019 Cornfield Cornfield 10K

The Route
This was my first Born & Raced in Nebraska (BRIN) series race. I was supposed to run the Leprechaun Chase back in March, but alas Mother Nature was not done with dropping snow on us and it was canceled. I was excited about this 10K series when I found it and was eager to work my way to the BRIN Blackout medal; a medal given to those who complete all three of the BRIN series 10K races in a single year. After the Leprechaun Chase was canceled, I assumed the Blackout was over. However, that is not the case. They consider it a completed event and the Cornfield Cornfield and Harvest Moon Hustle will still count!

Finish Inside Werner Park
The weather for this race was absolutely perfect! The temperature was in the mid-60s to low 70s, we had some cloud cover, and there was just enough breeze to keep you cool while you ran! I was not sure what to expect on this route, but I was in for a surprise for sure!

Elevation Profile
The race started off just outside of Werner Park, home of the Omaha Storm Chasers, and looped out and around the park. The first half of it was generally downhill, but I was surprised with how many hills we actually ran. You can see by the elevation profile that we had several ups and downs. The last uphill climb at the end was a bit brutal. It felt like we were running straight up at times. However, it was a fun race! I am certainly looking forward to improving my time next year!
