About Me

I completed my first ING New York City Marathon on November 1st, 2009 in 4 hours 55 minutes and 5 seconds. This will be my fourth marathon and I am going to bust my butt to break 4 hours on November 7th, 2010.

Thursday 3 miles when I have no time.

So I was so spent from yesterday I did not accomplish anything last night except making the imprint in my mattress a little deeper. I had toyed with running in the afternoon rather than in the morning, but once I got up I decided what the heck and went out. My legs are still feeling it from yesterday and it was not looking like a good run from the start. After the stretching I got into a decent groove until the first traffic light. Normally I wait only a few seconds...but with the amount of people driving up the hill after dropping their kids off for school and people trying to get to work by 8 I was at that cross-walk for what seemed like forever. I think it was over a minute...but since I normally don't keep track of that light I don't really know. Once I looked at my stopwatch at the end of the first mile I kind of lost all motivation to push. I did continue a good pace all the way through which is something to celebrate I guess. I am only subtracting 25 secs for the light but I am sure it was a lot more than that....I should have been paying attention. So my pathetic time for my 3 miler today was 26 min and 45 secs can't believe I am that lame. What a crappy day all-around.
