Rain, Rain, Rain
The last race we ran was the Vancouver Half-Marathon in the spring of 2001. Today, we completed the first ever New York City Half-Marathon. It started at 7am on the east side of Central Park, and we completed a lap of the park, headed south on 7th Avenue, and just before we got to Times Square, the city zoo dumped on us! Cats, dogs, cows, pigeons, whatever.
We turned west on 42nd Street, then south on the West Side Highway to historic Battery Park.
Chis finished a couple of minutes ahead of me, and we have yet to look up on the web our final finishing times. We both had great runs. Very strong. Who knows, maybe my 11th marathon, Chis’ 15th marathon, is just around the corner.
While we await the final tally, click HERE to see a video from the race.
The women's finish was spectacular (which I know because I had already finished?!).
