I ran in another 10K in Central Park this past weekend. I took it a
little easy but still managed to take a minute per mile off my time from
the Homecoming Scotland 10K last month. It's funny how much better you
can perform without food poisoning.
I have a 3 mile race in the Financial District tonight. It was supposed
to be a 5K, but the course was changed due to construction. I'd like to
finish in under 20 minutes, but we'll see how it goes. I'm feeling a
little sluggish today.
The Brooklyn Half is coming up on the 30th. It starts in Prospect Park
and ends at Coney Island. I'm just shooting for a better time than the
Manhattan Half. The weather should be about 50 to 60 degrees warmer for
Brooklyn so I shouldn't really have to worry about freezing sweat this
time. My pace at shorter distances has improved quite a bit since
January so I have that working in my favor as well.
The running team is expanding. We have a new member for the Giraffes.
Hopefully we'll be able to get five men and five women for each NYRR
race so we can be ranked in the club standings. I don't expect we'd do
very well against teams like NYAC or TRD, they seem to be fairly large
teams with a lot of good runners, but it would be nice to see the
Giraffes in the rankings.
Two of The Giraffes (Liz and I) have finished our 9+1 qualification
races and are guaranteed entry in the 2010 NYC Marathon. Two more will
complete their 9+1 at the Brooklyn Half.
