I ran a 1:22:57 half marathon out in Brooklyn this morning. That 6:19/mile overall pace was good enough for 75th out of 7,006. It was also a new personal best and a NYCM qualifier. The race was far from smooth sailing though. I really, really didn’t want to wake up this morning. [...] I guess this is still a race report, even though I wasn’t really racing this morning. Helen wanted to run the Al Gordon 4 Miler and I agreed that it sounded like fun. I wasn’t sure when I signed up how seriously I’d take it, but by this morning there was no doubt [...] My goal for yesterday’s run was to make it hurt. I succeeded.

On our way over, we talked about predicted finish times and I said that I just wanted to keep a 6:45 pace. His plan was to finish [...] I won! That pretty much sums up the whole race right there. Everything else is just details. Details are fun, though, so here goes: Last night, I ended up going out with my friend in the Lower East Side.
