Japan Day 4 Miler

This past week was a rough one for my training… pretty much none happened between last Saturday and this one. I ran an easy 2 loops on the bridal path Saturday with Team in Training.

Sunday morning brought an early wakeup for bib pickup pre-race. It was a beautiful morning. So excited to be able to dress in a Sparkle Skirt and tshirt.

Ready To Go

The center 4 mile loop in Central Park is a nice race distance that I enjoy running. I did not pay a lot of attention to my watch and I finished not quite my fastest, but pretty close… 0:49:51

I am hoping to work on my strength to help my speed and so do not feel ready for my half marathon next weekend, but off I will go to Fredericksburg, VA to run the MCM Historic Half with my good friend Rosie.

Reflecting on Boston

Over the last week, I have been reading articles about all different people’s experiences with last year’s Boston Marathon. They have been sad and uplifting all at the same time and have made me glad I am part of the larger running community. Today, many people I knew ran and spectated at the 2014 Boston Marathon. I loved seeing all the photos and runners updates on Facebook. It made me feel a part of the day even from afar.
