Poland Spring Marathon Kickoff 5-miler
One week to the New York City Marathon, and the New York Road Runners hosted a 5-mile race in Central Park today. Apparently, 6,000 other crazy people went out for the event, which finished at the same finish line where the marathoners will finish next week. We dressed for cool temperatures and high winds, and despite the variety of layers, we did extremely well. Chis, of course, beat me with a time of 37:08 (a stellar 7:28 minute per mile pace). I was close on his heals with a time of 39:10 (7:50 per mile pace). (I could run that fast, too, if my legs ended at my armpits!) It was a great run, followed by a Starbucks latte to warm up.
Despite our fit, svelt, buffed bods, we'll be cheering the 36,000 Marathon runners next Sunday. We'll be good athletic supporters!
