Going to try and be more regular on here....
Recap of life:
  • Ran the Boston Marathon on April 21 in 3 hours and 26 min. I gained four minutes from my time at Scranton.  It was an incredible race to run with people cheering the entire 26.2 miles.  The last 4 miles were incredibly hard for me and I wanted someone to just come and carry me to the finish line.  I kept the same pace for the first 21 miles.  Overall, I was really happy with my time considering I didn't start running until January after nursing my ankle back to health and not being able to run for 2 weeks in February while in Ethiopia. 
  • Took four friends from Brooklyn to the Catskills on May 2 and hiked up Mt. Wittenburg. They loved it!!!! It was a great opportunity to get out of the city and be in fresh air. 
  • May 3, I rode in the 5 Borough Bike Tour in the rain. I rode with 36,000 riders starting by the world trade tours up to the bronx, back into manhattan , then to queens, then brooklyn, and then statin island. I had to cut off at the Brooklyn Bridge to go play a soccer game.  That was the longest I have ridden a bicycle :) 
  • May 8-10 I went to Alabama. I flew to Birmingham and Natalie met me there. We stayed with her brother and sister-n-law and visited Papa.                                                                                Then went to Montgomery and stayed with Kaytie (friend from NYC) and watched her perform in Comedy of Errors at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.
