NYRR Gridiron 4 Miler

First race of the year done!! Far from a PR and a whole minute slower than the 4 miler I did in December (Race to Deliver) but perfectly run in my opinion. Mile one is the slowest (opening and Cat Hill), mile 2 is fast (the only flat mile), mile 3 is always a slow painful mess, and mile 4, the fastest, you bring it home, hills and all.
I wasn’t planning on racing and I didn’t have much options. My stomach was bothering me since I woke up. Just by mile 3 I started feelig ok. Oh well. I was also overdressed. It was 24 degrees so I was cold before and after and super hot during. I should have worn less clothes, but… Oh well!! Juan alao raced and seems like he PRed!!
Happy Sunday!!! I heard there’s some sort of “football” game happening today, enjoy!!!

I was supposed to run it but with the lingering cold I have and the chilly temps, I sadly skipped it. What’s your next race?

  I really felt like skipping it. My hubs did too, but we figured if we run there, the race and back, we wouldn’t feel so bad for staying indoors (and skipping training!!) all weekend!!! Hehe, laziness pushed us out! Next: nyc half but given how awful I felt today I started to reconsider it…
