Two saturdays ago, Paul, Sejal and I participated in the Nike Women's half marathon. We all ran like a girl, to say the least :) Sejal and I did the half marathon and Paul completed the full, quite an accomplishment! We all went to the Nike Expo in Union Square on Saturday, collected our bibs and found our name on the Nike wall. After a carb overload dinner at Pasta P's in the city, we headed back to Bij's place where my parents, Syona and Sej and I all stayed over. What a busy apartment! We awoke the next day at 5:15 AM, got our gear on and our game face on, had some breakfast and headed over to meet up with Kendra, Carolyn and the rest of the gang. Union Square was flooded with runners that Sunday morning, it was pretty cool to be part of something so big. The 13.1 miles went on and on and on, and in some cases up and up and up. The mile 4 mark was eventful because we saw our whole family there cheering us on, including Syona who was apparently clapping her hands for all the runners. I'm happy to say that I ran the whole thing. My time was 30 minutes slower than the half I ran in DC before I was pregnant but I was just happy I finished. And of course it was nice being greeted by the fireman in tuxedos handing us our run like a girl necklace. I'd love to run this race with Syona one day.
