'Twas the night before race day and all over SocialWorkout.com
"13.1 or Bust!"ers were preparing to be “da bomb.”
Their sneakers were ready, lined up with great care
And they thought of the finish line, determined to make it there!
The runners were tossing and turning in their beds,
As visions of mile markers twirled around in their heads.
But a few hours of shut eye they knew was needed,
So that the next day they would not feel depleted.
For the past 11 weeks they had logged many miles,
And were determined on race day to be nothing but smiles.
The support of their peers got them through rough days and nights,
And gave them the push that was needed to take their training to new heights.
On Garmin! On Gus! On Gatorade! On BodyGlide!
Foam Rollers and and Endorphins stride after stride!
Together they had prepared for an impressive feat,
As they logged their accomplishments and dreamt of the carbs they would eat.
The 11 week journey would soon come to an end,
Their legacy would live on in all of the posts that were penned.
The successful journey of 13.1 miles began with a single step,
(Though admittedly some runs may have felt like a schlep!)
The runners had grown strong as they logged each mile,
And when they’d log on to SoWo the comments made them smile.
They gained confidence, too, despite their pace,
They had it in them to run a great race!
They knew that whatever the day would bring they would all do their best,
And so they finally dozed off to get some rest.
Despite the butterflies in their stomachs it would all be alright,
So happy race eve to all, and to all goodnight!
Yay, NYC Half Marathon!

A few minutes behind my goal but I'll blame it on my stretch break :) This was technically my first long distance I've ran since the Phoenix marathon in January, soooo my calves are totally feeling it.
And yay for thefatbridesmaid and CJ on their first half!!
Speed work. My first run with NBR (North Brooklyn Runners). Oh my, what a workout. One of the toughest workouts I'd ever done.
Private yoga session at Studio Anya during lunch and then a class at I.AM.YOU. Delicious.
Breakdance class at PMT! Had to call it quits here (for now) to focus on training especially with all the races coming up. I'll restart the series this summer, hopefully :)
xtini boot camp. At least that's what I'm calling it. The organizer dude for MovNat's Prospect Park group was traveling so I arranged a mini boot camp with some friends of mine. Lots of bear crawls and pushups, and other fun stuff, followed by a 3 mile run around the Prospect Park loop. Trainer Christine. I think I could get used to it. NASM here I come?
13.1 miles of Fun!
Because tackling ice baths, cross training and many, many miles is sure to be better together!
