5-Mile Race

I ran a 5-Mile race in Central Park, New York City this morning and my finishing time was 36:40. I had predicted my over/under finishing time to be 36 minutes. It was my hope I would finish in the 35 minute range. The race started at the 102nd Transverse in Central Park with the first mile having a steep hill in the Harlem section. I felt strong out there and I knew I was running with some of the really good club runners. I like to call them, "The Usual Suspects." I did feel myself hit the wall near the end but I kept my pace. It was a Summer run and they are my favorite. After the race I walked all over Manhattan. Quite a day for me in The Big Apple.
