day 770

...seemed like a good idea @ the time

Got up early for today's run. Since the gathering is in Battery Park, hadda get up WAY early. This year was smart, parked in the muni garage. With 9/11 coming, street parking is a bitch (of course, after I went to the garage, passed a spot on the street. Oh well). I was there on time, forgetting it's a Curtis event, meaning, everything's a TAD off, so hadda wait about 30 mins.

KNEW doing the tree yesterday was an error(multiple walk breaks-as in 90seconds running/30 seconds walking, after mile 12), but with rain predicted manana pm, hadda. Did well today. it's a training run, not a race, so could afford to chill.

Lots of usual suspects NOT there: loud announcement guy, few Islanders, though Massapequa was there. Brotherfromanothermother wasn't, didn't make the scene, no Quantum peeps. Oh well, I was there.

And, as usual, cool giveaways!

Back home, cleaned up the rest of the tree mess.

KNOW I'll pay for this tomorrow, but after running the Island of Manhattan, a 5m pales by comparison.
