Alumni race report: Spencer's 5km PR!



This is a little bit overdue (a few weeks), but thanks to Spencer Johnson for sending along this email and these photos of his fancy and fast 5km PR out in San Diego -- 14:49! Pictures: Spencer's in the middle on the bridge, and second from right in the group. Anyway? Here's Spencer's email: 

Before quarantine, my teammates and I were gearing up for San Diego’s spring road series, which was obviously canceled due to Covid, along with our cross country season. When quarantine went into effect, we all ran alone for a little over a month until early May. Fortunately, San Diego’s Covid cases were pretty low compared to the rest of California because our mayor issued a strict quarantine and mask mandate from the start.

With things under control, we decided to keep our group small to about 5-6 of us and begin some hard training just for the fun of it, and then started doing a few time trials.

Our group did a July 4th road 10k where I tied my college track PR (30:53) on an already mapped out course for a race we typically do every Fourth of July. We then had a 5k road/parking lot time trial that we mapped with a wheel and GPS. We picked this because it was an old/empty Sea World parking lot no one uses, so we didn’t have to deal with cars or people getting in the way. I PRed in 14:49, which knocked 9 seconds off my college track PR, and three of my other teammates PRed as well!

It stinks it wasn’t official but I’m glad our hard workouts are paying off, and hopefully the new year brings some small local races. We have the Carlsbad 5000 virtual race coming up that’s organized by Meb, so we’ll see how that goes!

Not sure what else we have in store, but for now I’m just going to continue with our weekly schedule.

The photo of us on the bridge is our cool down after the time trial, and the group photo is from a 1k repeat workout we did the week leading up.

Hope you, your family, and the team are doing well!

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

I was the last person on earth to accept the fact that spells exist or work not until I was referred to Dr Ilekhojie. He promised to help me reconcile with my partner. I had no other option than to give it a try because 3 months after the divorce, I was demoted at my place of work due to depression and lack of concentration. My life was draining away each day and i was confused on what to do. I was happy and enjoying my work but all of a sudden, i became miserable after the divorce because it was quick and a short process. Only Dr Ilekhojie gave me a way and i am happy i believe him. Just last week here, I was promoted back to my position and I’m here to share my own experience with this man called Dr Ilekhojie. In all situation there’s always a way out. Contact Dr Ilekhojie via TEXT OR WHATSAPP MESSENGER with: +2348147400259 and Email on: gethelp05@gmail.com

I had so many little fights and quarrel to get in between the love we had as a family. I was always angry with small things that did not matter. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her and my kids. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I neglected her and drove her into the arms of another man. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage. I realized that i was the problem even though it was too late. A friend of mine at work hooked me up with Dr Ilekhojie who assured me that my wife still loves me and wish to return. He helped me performed a reconciliation ritual which fixed our marriage in less than a week. Just as he said, it will restore our lost connection and it did. Thank you Dr Ilekhojie. Hook him up if you have any problems. Email him: gethelp05@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on: +2348147400259
