Default Great news! Race today 5k=18:03

Hey I wanted to share some good news. I did another race today. It was a 5k=18:03.

I finished 1st in my age bracket 20-29.

4th place overall.

Probably 200-250 in the race.

I say this not to brag. I wanted to share my good news, because I am excited. Much of my life I have been an underdog. When I left high school I was 220lb, was teased and bullied about my weight and sexuality. Didn't have much self esteem, still don't have much, but a tad better. Sports is a good way to boost it.

Today's race was for anyone thats been a bit of an underdog.

Justin
