Mile on Fifth Ave

Today: 8.5 miles

Week: 26 miles

Workout: 6-mile loop of Central Park. Then, 1-mile run to starting line and then, race.

I had to run to the starting line because I was a little late. I made it with just under 10 minutes before the start of my race. Unfortunately, I got stuck behind quite a few people and had to do a little weaving for the first half of the race. I hit the quarter mile in 79 seconds. By the time I hit the 3/4-mile mark, my upper body was starting to tighten up. I ended up with a 5:08. 11th place in my age division.
