Race Report: Another 4 Miler

This morning, I was up and at'em in the Pfizer Oncology Colon Cancer Challenge. After a beautiful day yesterday, it was grey and nippy this morning. But I got up. I had my "summer runner's breakfast" of almond butter on whole wheat toast - yum. "Winter runners breakfast" is usually oatmeal.

It's pouring out now, but there was a constant drizzle during the race. I picked up my number and made it to the start about 30 seconds before the horn.

So, I think I PR's! The dang results aren't posted yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I defintely came within a minute. The clock wasn't working at the start of the race .. hope this doesn't mean results are lost!

This was my fifth 4 mile race in Central Park. The course is usually pretty much the same - there is a 4 mile inner loop, but the starting point sometimes changes. I like today's route best, because we start around 72nd St, instead of 110th.

Still waiting for results to be posted! Here are my comparables:

• February 25, 2006: Time = 43:34, Pace = 10:53
• December 3, 2005: Time = 43:26, Pace = 10:51
• April 24, 2005: Time = 42:58, Pace = 10:44
• February 26, 2005: Time = 43:36, Pace = 10:54

Will update soon!

UPDATE: Sunday afternoon

Hey, 42:06! I did beat my previous time, by 52 seconds! Pace was 10:31. Very pleased!
