I'm doing the second half marathon in the NYRR series of 5 (one in each of the burros). This one is in the Bronx.
Anyone know what the course is like? If it's relatively flat I'm going to try for 1:50 or thereabouts (if I could break 1:50, I'd be ecstatic), but if it's hilly that might not be possible.
I'm pretty pumped about the race...I've been running well and having fun while doing it, definitely the best combination.
Plus, my sister is going to be in town for the next two weeks. She's been in Israel since June, and she's finally coming back to the States. She's spending the next couple of weeks with me (and her friends in NY) before heading back to Louisiana and then ultimately finishing school in San Francisco. ANYWAY, I'm hoping she's jet lagged enough to want to wake up early with me and go to the race, and then maybe spinning next week. I'm such a considerate sister, right? I planned these early events JUST FOR HER, I promise. I can't wait until she gets here...even if it does mean I have to drive to JFK for her 5:22 am (!) arrival...

hey su! i'm coming to ny this weekend, fri-sun, are you going to be coming into the city at all? call me...love jojo
Good luck with the half marathon! I'm sure your sister will be excited to cheer you on.
It ain't that hilly ... not like Central Park. Maybe one medium-sized hill, around mile 8 or so? You'll know it 'cause you're going under an overpass.
P.S. I think you should take down the silly iguana pic and put back the hot one of you playing the flute.
ok, I live in a donkey?!? I've never done the Bronx half, but good luck on your race
i'm signed up as well. even though i live in the bronx, i don't know the course. (they have the turn by turn directions on the site - i have to map it out.)
hopefully it gets a little warmer. (say, 30 degrees?)
Hi Sue, I was thinking of you this weekend and had to come online to tell you.. Have you ever heard of Qigong? I took a two day class on it last weekend and after the first day, the depression was down to NONE!
Cheers
Rice.
