Healthy Kidney 10K - New York Road Runners

Since the kickboxing routine has started, my focus has shifted away from running. This was bad news as I remembered on Tuesday that I had a 10K coming up on Saturday. So with only one run under my belt for the week, needless to say I wasn't exactly expecting a knock out time.

But folks, that's why you run the race. As my Nike+ time proves, I hammered out the 6.2 mile course on a picture perfect morning in Central Park in a respectable time, even coming in at one mile marker under 7 minutes. I have to say the iPod does wonders out there on the course and I love how the last half mile had the theme to Rocky blaring in my headphones. The visual of him running through the streets of Philadelphia was racing through my mind and really helped as I toughed out the last 800m.
