Look How Far We've Come
Just under 3 years ago, I started training. That first 5K took about 53
minutes and change. My first race was the 2008 Lincoln Tunnel Challenge,
about 6 weeks after I first stepped on the treadmill. My time in that 5K
was 35:51, about 11:32 per mile.
Yesterday I ran the NYRR Gridiron 4 Mile. I finished in 25:47 (6:26
pace), a full ten minutes faster than that first 3.1 miles.
Last month, I ran the Fred Lebow Classic 5 Mile race in Central Park. I
finished that race in 33:09 (6:37 pace), over two minutes faster than
that first 5K race.
I hope this achievement will serve as a testament to the fact that with
determination and hard work, anything is possible.
