Sunday
New York City Marathon.
Arrived NYC friday afternoon, rested friday and saturday
Ran the race on sunday with the goal of 4:30 or better knowing that it is a much tougher course than that of Houston marathon.
Houston Marathon in January 2010: 4hours:39 minutes
NYC Marathon November 2010: 4 hours: 23 minutes
A 16 minute PR! YES! I did well, surprised myself a little, I would have been happy with 4:29, but this was certainly special. Good weather (mid 40s to low 50) helped a lot. Of course keeping weight loss off, becoming leaner, consistent exercise and training for marathon were factors as well.
Feeling proud, blessed, grateful to ahve support of freinds and family. This was a great race.
A long term goal has been set to break 4 hours "one day"
