4 mile run in under 40 minutes? Oh yes, give me more!

These were our directions, and we rocked it!!:
"Basic (4 mi)– Cross from West to East Drive on reservoir path (@ lamppost # 86). You will run on reservoir path until you get to the south pumphouse – 1st building on your left. There are water fountains located here. Head down stairs to East Drive and run down East drive to 72nd transverse. Cross to Cherry Hill Fountain – do one loop, and head out west driveway to 72nd transverse. Cross 72nd to path on south side of transverse and run back to finish line. Confused? We will post a map and you can follow teammates/coaches who know the course!"


So, I think everyone might be a little surprised at themselves after today's workout. We ran 4 miles (basic runners) in under 40 minutes, and many of us could have easily kept going. This was my second run with the Central Park crew, and I really liked it.

Overheard: "I guess this Team In Training thing really does work!"

That made me laugh a little inside, but I know we're all feeling it. Its Week 6, and we have 15 weeks left in our training, and believe it or not, I'm actually feeling good about things. I unfortunately can't remember the last time I ran 4 miles continuously without stopping. Today I've achieved something, and I'm mighty proud.

Its 13 days till my birthday, and I'm proud to say that this little lady has still got it in her to be the best she can ever be! My goal is to be able to say that every single year for at least another decade... maybe 2?

I'm a happy camper, and I'm going to feel it tomorrow. Bring it on body, we're got some serious training cut out for you. :)


I feel like we're beginning to build a little bit of a "One Yahoo!" attitude with the team! While I may not know all 44 Yahoos who are doing the NYC Triathlon, I'm definitely getting to know a good group from our Sales/40th Street office, our 18th Street HotJobs side, and of course, getting to know our Right Media Yahoo folks even better.
