Saturday morning was the New York Road Runners Holiday Four Miler. It is obviously a four mile race that took us on a loop through the park from the 102nd Street Transverse down to the Boathouse and back up. I had never run a race before, so it was an interesting experience.
Being that I have the worst sense of direction in the history of human kind, I was terrified that I was going to get lost and not be able to find the start line. Alas, the uptown 6 train was filled with people wearing spandex and yellow chips on their shoes, so I was able to follow all of them to the start line.
I had a purple number, which meant I was part of the slow crowd, but I'm a-ok with that. My goal is to FINISH the marathon on two feet. Any kind of time goal is secondary. In the middle of the second mile, Grande caught up to me and we ran the end of it together. Four miles was easy enough, and I finished in about 44 minutes, which meant I was running 11 minute miles.
This race was fun, and I'm excited (and terrified!) about next week's 15K, which means I'm off right now to go run some while the weather is still nice!
Check out the photo of me and Grande!
