Looks like my first 5k in 17 months is finally on the horizon – the CIBC Run for the Cure on September 30th in Toronto. Rob cordially invited me to join his Raybec team and get back on the competitive running horse. My last 5k – the Achilles St. Pat’s – resulted in a new personal best of 24:56, but also a pulled muscle under my left foot that’s taken until this summer to fully heal. I’m excited to get back out there and seek a sub-24:45 time. This run does offer the option to sponsor me with money going towards funding cancer research, I’d love it if anyone would be interested in helping me out with a sponsor. E-mail me at rickjessup@gmail.com and I’ll flip you a donation link. Thanks!
This weekend offered a rare chance for me to visit all six of my grandparents within a two-day span. I can’t be more grateful that at 33 I still have that many to visit with, and it was a good time. Kudos to our resident Zonk Nazi, Mark, for putting on an unrivaled spread of good eats on Saturday at his annual corn boil. Burgers, sausage, corn, salads, and about the largest amount of dessert I’ve ever seen in one place at one time. We still didn’t get into the Bernardus, but like hamster stories and all good things, that’s another story…
