Thursdays have long been defined (well at least since September) as an early wake up call and long run in the park with a great group of people. However, the past few weeks have left me hitting the snooze button due to the cold, snowy, icy winter we have been experiencing here in NYC. Even the tough athletes I run with don’t risk the conditions. To the spin bikes we went!
Alas, today brought new hope. Perhaps it was a 24th birthday present (a day late), or maybe just a little tease from Mother Nature. Either way, the ice melted and the air was crisp, and once again we met at 6:20 am at the Boathouse for 9 miles at 7:30 pace. Just what I needed to relieve me of my cabin fever and prepare me for the Gasparilla 15K in Tampa in t-minus 16 days. Every Kennedy for themselves!
