2014 Putnam 8 Mile - 50:03 / 6:15 & Post July 4th in BK & LI


Net Time: 50:03
Pace: 6:15
Rank: 9th
AG: 70.81

2 years later, another 8 mile PR on a tough course and 5th of the year.  After two subpar races due to illness, I think I'm getting back into the groove.  Although I have to say it was a tough one as by mile 3-4 there were feelings of dropping out.  I was happy to keep it together, readjust my goals and patiently worked my to a PR.  Onward!  A bit off tangent, but after the race, it was probably the best 4th I've ever had-

2014 FRNY 5Miler - 30:48


Net Time - 30:48
Pace: 6:10
AG: 70.41%



 This definitely wasn't the result I was hoping to strive for after racing a great 5miler at Portugal Day.  However, due to a viral infection that lingered since the Queens 10K, I think it was ok to accept and move on.  Granted it wasn't the best performance but considering the fact that I didn't wanted to be there and fought for every minute with constant dry coughing, I have to stop being so hard on myself.  It was an honest effort and moving onto the next race! Onward
