Heroes in Recovery is a movement to eliminate the stigma of addiction and mental health issues and to celebrate those in recovery. The 6th kilometer separates a Heroes race from a typical 5K to symbolize the extra effort it takes to sustain recovery. Thankfully, I’m only addicted to #Oreos and I run to sustain my binge eating (the whole box in one seating 🙈). -- This race was a lot of fun. I met some inspiring people, had lengthy discussions with other racers and race directors after the race. Shared some genuine laughs.. I even stuck around this time to take the "podium" and grab my award 💪. The nice thing about prize awards is that they cover your transportation, food, and race registration fees. It's like you're being paid to hang out with amazing people. Which is really good for my ego. -- #heroesrace #heroes6k #race #5k #medalsoftheworld (at Heroes in Recovery 6K)

Post race food reward. I was hungry!! Well the event was only 6 miles away from DTD!!! So I had celebratory tacos and a cake pop. It was a very Puff thing to do. 😂 #hrc18hufflepuff #hufflepuff #Heroes6K @heroes6k #disneytreats

Good, ranked 6th overall and 2nd in age group. Competition was tough and I was too conservative. I kicked in too late, still kicking myself over it. I finished with a lot more fuel in the tank than I wanted. You live and learn. I could also have trained harder, but hey I'm also packing 190lbs of muscle compared to the rest of the top finishers. Broke my mile PR at 5:36 min/mi and 1k at 5:20min/mi. #Strava ~400 finishers #heroesrace #heroes6k #5k #race (at Las Olas Beach Ft Lauderdale Florida)
