(me running Greta's Gallop, last weekend's 1/2 marathon in Central Park...where I PRed, running 12 minutes faster than I did in the Brooklyn 1/2 back in May!)
Happy Jewish New Year! We have today off b/c of the holiday but will be running 17 miles in the park tomorrow. I am a bit tired of running in the park (and a bit tired in general), but it's our last long run on the bridle path, so I'm trying to keep it all in perspective. Central Park has become my home through all this. I know many nooks and crannies I didn't know before, and have seen many a beautiful sunset. The skyline looks so awesome in so many different kinds of light...full sun, dusk, night time. It's getting so dark so much earlier now and the weather is cooling. I know I will look back on my many miles in the park with such fondness when I am old and no longer a New Yorker. I am so grateful for this opportunity, even though I times I have probably not lived up to what I've been expected to do (have suffered a bit of burnout in the last couple weeks). Regardless, feeling pretty good about where I am at this point and have to say, really, I think anyone can run a marathon--or I guess I should say 20 miles, since that's the farthest I've gone so far. Just treat it like a part-time job, take care of yourself and 20 miles is yours for the owning.
