My first NYRR race of the year was the “Run for the Parks” 4M in Central Park. Unfortunately, the training I’d been putting in went out the window as I was knocked out for almost three weeks beforehand with a bad upper respiratory infection, brought on by sharing a bug that Adam (aka “Patient Zero”) was dealing with. It was far from my best time (officially 39:29, but “age-graded” as 39:01 on the NYRR website - apparently I’m an old man), but I was happy about being able to keep a solid pace without getting tired, especially after not moving for so long. I pushed for a strong finish, and am ready to work for a better time next month.
