Yesterday I ran the longest distance I have ever run, which is a 15K race. The hardest part about running this race yesterday was the inclement weather. Though the "snow" in New York City pales in comparison to the way in which New England was rocked daily for months when I was in college, running in it was a different story. Despite fears (Hopes, maybe?) that the race would be canceled, New York Road Runners kept the 15K alive in Central Park. The back drop was beautiful, as all the trees were ice covered and snowy, and the ground was (mostly) dry. I finished the race in 1:51, which averages a 12 minute mile, which isn't bad.
I'm proud that I made it out in the bad weather. There are no images of me in my race gear, but the picture above illustrates the weather the day before the race. After my BFF Grande ditched me because we both had a teensy bit too much fun at the "office holiday party" on Friday afternoon, I'm surprised that I made it out at all!
Let's just say that there are other ways to get carbs than pasta parties!
