I was happy my friend Kate joined me for the New York Road Runner's Young Professionals Committee Hot Chocolate 5 miler in Central Park. It was a fundraiser with an affordable entry fee and snacks when we finished. I saw a couple other Team for Kids members there and it was a beautiful morning to run.
I probably ran a little harder than I should have (to keep up with Kate, an awesome runner even when she hasn't been running) because the next morning I felt TIRED and had a 5 mile race with NYRR. However, I was lucky enough to run with a couple TFKers and they paced me for sure, allowing me to PR...making Sunday's my fastest 5 mile race ever. Slowly getting faster!
Yesterday my neighbor and friend Sara met me on the corner at 6:30 for a light recovery run across the Williamsburg Bridge to Manhattan and back. It was so foggy we couldn't see beyond the bridge railings, but a nice warm morning for a jog. Sara's trying to get into running and over some injuries and I think it was a good run for her too. Such a great way to start the morning.
Today, I'm taking the day off. And that feels good too!
run on, girl! I can hear how happy it makes you.
