For this afternoon's long run, I tried to plan my route around checking on the valets downtown and also somehow making it to the CRC Christmas Lights Run, which would start across from Freedom Park at 5:30. I had been slacking majorly lately, and while that may not be a bad thing, I decided I was ready to kick-start my training again.
I made a point to keep a pretty decent pace throughout this thing, and did so with many sub-7:20 miles through Dilworth, Wilmore, and downtown. I left Capital Grille around 5:20 and headed over to the park. I hadn't taken into consideration that I would be warmed up (8 miles in) and no one else would, so the pace flew up to nearly 8:30 for the first two miles of the lights run. Oh, well. With a map in my hand and Lamperski, B-Mac, Kent, and everyone else in tow, I decided to lead the group on a tour of lights.
Mike Kahn, Megan Hovis, Allison Reed, Anthony Monaghan, Jason Meulemans, Kent Morris, Chris Lamperski, Brian McMahon, Greg Isaacs, and John Fillette were among the men and women I shared miles with this evening. It was an enjoyable experience but we all agreed the Queens West/Hillside neighborhoods would have involved a lot more lights. No matter, it was a nice night out and fun.
Back at the park, I chatted with Jade, Brian, Spada, Billy, and a few more. I was getting tight and cold and still had a couple more miles to run, however, so I didn't stay long. Today was a good effort that I needed to shake off the December cobwebs.

Damn it all, we ran on that side of town last year and everyone complained there weren't enough lights. Someone else can pick the effing route next year.
ReplyDeleteLOL. It was cool either way.
