(above: me, baby girlfriend, husband, and dear friend aunt rosie)Twas a beautiful day in Prospect Park Brooklyn for a 6k. 6k because part of the park was under construction and NYRR had to adapt their annual 4 miler...but I am not going to complain about not getting to run .3 miles to make it a 4 miler.
My official pace was 9:10, just 3 seconds slower than my PR, but ugh did I feel sluggish! I hadn't run since Monday and it showed.
Happy to say it was fun to run with some TFK alums...this race was the TFK marathon alum event of the season and a fundraiser for NYRR youth programs...so all around, a nice day.
Am now enjoying an afternoon of rest while Baby Girlfriend naps. Laying low to gear up for tomorrow's 6:30 run with D, my Ethiopian friend. I will need my energy. Help me once again baby Jesus. It'll be another link in the chain in terms of my getting faster and help me prep for next weekend's 15K.
Jump at the Sun, my friends. Jump at the Sun.
That is awesome! I think you are great for running while maintaining such a BUSY life! You are reaching incredible goals and doing things other people, like me, only dream about! Go you!
