2026 Cap10k: The Next Generation

The last time I ran the Cap10k was in 2018 (2019 was cancelled).

After that, my bad knee got more messed up, I had surgery, and the doctor told me to quit running.

Eight years later, and not through my own initiative, I was again signed up for the race. Except this time my kids are running with me for the first time and – not only did I not train – I have literally not run in years.

With the excuses out of the way…

Yes, this was my worst time ever.
But I stopped to pee, which added 30 seconds or so.
I finished without walking and I am proud of myself. Except for the peeing, when I prefer to remain stationary.
Yes, everything hurts. Except for peeing, that’s alright.
The boys, who also did not exactly follow a running training program, did incredibly well. They are beasts.
