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.
