Had a great run yesterday with PL and TH. We had talked about going back to Rockefeller State Park, but with all the rain we were having we decided it might be a muddy mess. Instead we got together in Central Park for a couple of loops. PL wanted to get a feel for a race pace he was targeting, so in the middle of the first loop, we did a half mile pick at 10k pace or so. Then at the top of the Great Hill, we veered off to the cinder track that's hidden a few hundred yards off the road, and ran a few fast laps there. At the end of the second loop, we also picked up a bit to finish strong. The weather turned out to be beautiful, and I had a great time running with my two good friends.
I'm looking ahead at targeting the Brooklyn Half Marathon on May 3rd. Brooklyn is a great course, and I haven't run a half since October. I'm hoping to be up for a PR. Either way, it should be fun.
This morning, TH and I went out early, as we each had family obligations for most of the day. Runners were just starting to gather for the More Marathon in the park. The More Marathon is an amazing event that is only for women over 40. You can run the full marathon, or get a partner, and each of you run half (the partner doesn't have to be over 40). There were 146 marathon finishers, and close to 6000 folks who ran the half.
We passed by the Flyers water station, where a large group of Flyers were setting up. It felt bad to wave and say hi to the folks that were volunteering as we ran by, but there was no way I could have helped out today. Note to self: get out and do more Flyers volunteer activities!
