Just got back from NYC late last night. Wow- it was an amazing trip! I cannot believe how much we crammed into 4 days. The race was tough. My ankle has really been bothering me and I really hadn't trained well, especially the last month. My running buddy developed a bad chest cold and was having trouble getting oxygen. But dangit we crossed that finish line. A bit slower than our last race but we lived!! The course wasn't as pretty as the Dallas run but the weather was absolutely perfect. The whole time I was running I kept thinking about how I was going to take a huge break from running and focus more on spinning (I've really been loving the RPM class at the YMCA). But believe it or not, today my ankle is feeling good, really good. (Maybe all that walking in NYC was all I needed.) And the time I get with girlfriends running is just gold. It's like friendship and therapy and exercise all rolled into an hour or so early in the am so it doesn't even mess with my schedule. Running buddies- you rule!
