Adidas Run 4 the Parks in Central Park- 4 miles. Done.
Ran the whole thing. In the pouring rain. Up and down hills.

Finished in 38:59 (by my own timer), not sure what the official time was since I actually got to the start line after the horn blew and the clock had already been running. When I crossed the finish line it said 39:23. Regardless, that was better than the goal I set for myself (40 minutes)!

not that most of you care but i wanted to share the good news since I'm not a runner and this was kinda a big deal for me! Had to toot my own horn!:hot:

Congratulations, GG. :clapping: I take it that Patrick ran it with you so you wouldn't have to do it alone. Sort of a misery loves company thing. :lol:

Thank you!

no no... unfortunately for me, a) p doesn't like to run and b) p had to work, training our client that i usually train on sundays, so that i could skip work and go to the race!
 
It's been raining for 2 days straight and it's cold! What did you were for the run?

Not enough! hahahaha

I wore black gym pants, the lycra kind, a blue dri-fit long sleeve shirt and a black nike yoga zip-up jacket, because the only waterproof jacket i have is not running-friendly. it is a snowboarding jacket. So i made-do with my little yoga jacket. Regardless, I could have just gone naked, because the effect was the same: i was cold and soaked head to toe by the end. I'll post a photo from before the race in a little bit.
 
way to go!!

NYC Marathon? No way.

Actually I may run the Rock n Roll HALF marathon with Jodi next january in arizona.

Berkowitz - but yes, I am cuban. And not jewish. Long story.
 
:clap: I'm so proud of you, you non-runner :p

Yup, Rock N Roll Marathon in January! That one we will have to train for.

That's great time btw :)
 
Way to go GG. I hate running in the rain! Good for you for doing what you set out to do. :thumbup:

Does it make you want to take running more seriously? That's a very good time for being a casual runner... maybe when you and Patrick get settled in AZ you can train for another race, try and beat your time...

I don't think your link is working. :banana:
 
Thank you Jodi! Thanks Bakerboy!

damn - you guys really think that was a good time/pace for a non-runner?? i think its great that i beat my goal, but i thought that might be a shitty time regardless... :)

I might want to play :p

I don't usually think of Cubans as being Jewish...so at least part of that makes lots of sense!

Berkowitz is a jewish last name. I am not, nor is anyone is my family now or for the last four or five generations which is as far back as I've been able to trace...

Nobody really knows how we ended up with this last name. My dad's family, who could have really done a lot of the research never cared to find out... I tried a few years ago to trace. I started the whole genealogy research project for my family. I got ZERO support from anyone. Nobody was interested, so I said fuck it and dropped the project altogether. needless to say, i'm a little bitter about it because i can't believe that NOBODY but me gave a crap to know our family history.
 
That is odd, maybe there was a dark secret they were trying to hide.....like you may be related to David Berkowitz. :eek:

It must go further back than that! hahaha! but i wouldn't be surprised! I keep thinking SOMETHING must have happened somewhere... and someone is hiding something. but it looks like i'll never know.
 
Congrats on running the race, kid! Way to go!

I think the family made up the name. Not a bad idea, really. How can you be Cuban with a name like that?

Haven't you heard of pulling a "Berkowitz?"
