Memorial Day Marathon
Got a lot of stares on the train ride home.
Today: 13 miles
Week: 13 miles
Workout: 2 loops of 6.55 mile course in Van Cortlandt Park
I had only planned on doing one loop, but I figured I might as well get in a long run. I finished around 1:38 (about 7:30-ish/mile). It was nice being on trails for a change. Love the mud! I was worried about missing a turn. But I managed to get through the whole run and only made one wrong turn.
I can't believe some people actually ran a marathon in this weather.

Brooklyn Half Marathon
Today: 13 miles
Week: 39.5 miles
Workout: 2 loops of Prospect Park - Coney Island via Ocean Pkwy
I woke up at 4:00 a.m., and left my apartment by 4:30 a.m. I was planning on catching the 1 train and switching to the 2 in order to get to Prospect Park. But when I got to the station, I saw a notice that said there were no trains stopping at the station. *!%#!!! I ran to the A train station and caught that instead. I think I arrived at the Grand Army Plaza station around 6:05, along with about 1,000 other runners. I just followed everyone else.
I knew it was a long walk to the baggage facilities, and they were supposed to close at 6:20. Plus, I knew I was going to have to make a bathroom stop, so I was worried about making it to my corral on time. Those were supposed to close at 6:40. By the time I got to the baggage area, it was 6:35. I was standing on line for the bathrooms by 6:40. I think I got out at 7:00, the start of the race. I ran to the corrals. I got to the 6000s corral and realized all the corrals were already closed and the race probably already started.
So I ran back to the last corral, the 8000s, and started the race from there. I don't think that's ever happened to me before. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was probably slowed down a little, but by the time I got to the first mile, I could run my own pace. The hills in Prospect Park were tougher than I remember. And Ocean Parkway is as boring as ever. This is not my favorite half marathon.

NJ Half Marathon Relay
Today: 14.5 miles
Week: 17.5 miles
Workout: Ran the first leg (6.7 miles) of the half marathon relay, 3 mile cool down, then paced Meggie for the last 5 miles of her marathon
Splits for my relay leg: 6:16, 6:20, 6:21, 6:23, 6:36, 6:39. Still sick, so I was pleased with the result. Denie and I won the masters division and came in 3rd overall. But somehow, the NJ Marathon organizers screwed up and don't have our correct finishing time.
