Run for the Parks 4M
This was an awesome day!
I ran in the New York Run for the Parks 4M this morning in Central Park.
My last four mile race was the Grid Iron Classic back in February where
I finished with a time of 29:12 and an AG Performance % of 57.7. (I'm at
that age where my actual time is the same as my AG time).
I really wanted to try and beat that but my IT-band had been acting up
earlier in the week so I was pretty nervous and sure it wouldn't happen.
I woke up this morning and felt pretty good. I did some core training
and light weight lifting and then left for the race with my teammates,
feeling a little more optimistic.
I ended up having a really good first mile, running about a 7:09 pace. I
picked it up a bit and ended up finishing in 27:21 and achieved an AG
performance of 61.6%, beating my last 4M by 1:51.
My new best pace is 6:50/mile, down from 7:05, and I've reached the
"local class" achievement level.
It feels so good and I have my friends to thank for this. They convinced
me to run with them last year and my life has been completely
transformed since then. I've thanked them multiple times for what they
did, but I don't know if they'll ever know how much it really means to
me.
