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 Beat the Heat 10K

Doneplete!
This was an awesome race! Another awesome event put on by Freedom Running company! We started behind the Culver's in Bellevue, NE and did an out and back to the east. I will have to say, it was a bit challenging for me, as it is a little flatter and faster to the west (the direction I usually run), so it was a good workout. The great thing about it was the opportunity to work on some mechanics to prepare for my upcoming marathon in September.

While it certainly was not my best 10K effort at 1:03:14, it was still fun. The heat really was not horrible, although my watch gave me an average temperature of 82 degrees. Given the heat I experienced during my marathon attempt last year, that I was completely unprepared for, this was a good conditioning/acclimation run. So, I will take it! Looking forward to more races in preparation for my September marathon goal!
