Unfortunately, another year of my name not being drawn from the random selection for the NY Marathon. My neices name was drawn. It was her first time to enter and she could have cared less! Not caring will be my strategy for next year!
I completed my run with an overall average pace of 10:33. I am satisfied with that finish.
I ran outside. Another storm front is moving in so I feel that I beat Mother Nature at her own game. The temperature was probably ideal for most runners (34°). For me, it was still a tad bit cold. I ran home at mile 15 to change my clothes and grab my ski gloves. My fingers were numb and turning white.
On the positive side, my nutrition went well. I think that I've got that aspect figured out which is awesome and one less worry!
