What can I say. Regardless of how many people were running, I knew I was going to enjoy it. This Brooklyn girl loved running through her borough. I went into the race having quite a bit of tightness in my left calf. The start area was crazy with all the people. The two wave start was key to keeping the race comfortable. The weather was good: cool and overcast. I started off a little to fast. I was pacing with two members of BGR! One ended up taking it easy due to some pain. I ended up holding back and taking several walking breaks as well but my girl Annella kept with me even though I told her to go ahead. The energy around the park was awesome! Ocean Parkway was of course quieter. It felt a little strange to have the Hasidic families out just staring at us. Seeing the 800 m to go sign just made me angry but that 400 m was on the money. Once again the BGR! cheer squad made the difference. They were there for all the runners BGR! or not. I capped the day off my cheesefries and a beer with my sole sistas. I will be going on a half hiatus until RnR Philly. Only 10 k or shorter races until then.
