Run Edgar Run!

This is my 2nd year in participating in this running event. But, instead of running in the half marathon, I ended up doing the 5k instead. One reason is that I was not as well trained to do the half marathon. Both my friend and I opt for having a less grueling run and at the same time enjoy the winter visit to New York City.  The weather was crisp, tons of fellow runners heading to the start line and looking forward to starting a morning run around New York's Central Park. I love watching people and supporters taking in the occasion. People are generally friendly and show a lot camaraderie. Thankfully, I was to finish this easy 5k run in just over 30 minutes, and I could take in the rest of the morning relaxing and enjoying New York City on a Sunday.  Heading over to the Start Line  Looking back on this run, it really wasn't that bad, I feel a little guilty I didn't train to do the entire half marathon run. This running route required at least 3 laps around Central Park, ...

2014 San Francisco Pride Run Overall Results June 28, 2014 A lot of work to get conditioned to finish this race but I did it! Edgar Micua 10K Result #96 out of 192

Every year, I take the time to include this run - sort of a kick off to start the new year intent on continuing to be in good health and personal motivation. But I'm such a slow runner these days. It could be that this year's run was raining. It hasn't happened in a while but I can't use weather as an excuse. I've ran in the rain before minus thousands of people crowded around me. To kick off the year, my time was really slow on this particular run. In year's past, I've run this same running event a few half marathons or relegate to the 5K just in case I may not finish. This event is usually a springboard to my other runs into the new year. This year however, I'm considering finishing a half marathon to celebrate my ability to do it and with a good finishing time. In the case of running full marathons in the past, I finish a full, then I'm done, there's no zip to my step and I can't go anywhere but hop into bed and nap that afternoo...
