NYRR 8000 Recap

Reagan and I had a really great time at our race on Saturday morning. We were both fairly pleased with our times. The photo above is before the race, across the street from where we parked. The angle of the photo was not for artistic effect. It was because of the slope of our hood, on which the camera was sitting for this timer shot. If we don’t really look ready to run a race, in the photo, then it is a pretty accurate reflection of reality. It was a balmy 35 degrees when the race started. On a positive note, there was no wind. The course was one that Reagan and I run frequently in the summer, which I think was a mental advantage for us. What also made the race fun, was seeing several of our friends, after the race, who we didn’t even realize were also going to be running. The race definitely stepped up my spring fever another notch (if that’s possible), and made me excited for the upcoming races this year.
