Things have been going well in my life. I’ve been dedicating myself to completing long-standing, major projects. I’ve learned that the preponderance of major projects in my life bog down my life and interfere with each project’s completion. Furthemore, they all basically render my acting career impotent. So this summer I’m taking time to knock out some long-standing and time-consuming projects so that I can liberate my life and feel happier again.
How does that connect with today’s race? Since the last race, I haven’t run at all. This is because I’ve been focused on completing these projects. The process has been good so far, and it’s not surprising that today’s 4-miler in Central Park was so slow for me. I managed probably a little better than I expected, though I could tell my cardiovascular system wasn’t conditioned. No matter, though: I decided I’d bike to the race today (giving myself a bit more exercise in this beautiful weather this morning) and I biked back, too, as a soft entrance to bringing fitness back into my life. It is about this time that I planned on phasing running and training into my life.
In today’s weather–which was about 64 degrees, sunny, with comfortable humidity–I did 4 miles in 30:04 (7:31) for the inaugural NYRR Celebrate Israel Run. I managed to pull off a really fast sprinting finish that pulled ahead of a ton of people in the last leg. That was the fun part of this race. It looks as if photos will be coming soon. Here are my unofficial Garmin results.
