Wintry New York

stats of the week: run 48 km, gym 3 h

Last weekend I saw New York City in a different state than the years before. It was pure delight to run through Central Park in wintry conditions.

Watching the New York City Half Marathon was a new experience, too. It is an event with around 20,000 participants, more than half of them female! As usual with NY Road Runners, it is perfectly organized and worth the visit. It offers the unique opportunity to run across Times Square with a finish downtown at Battery Park. 

Feyise Lilesa of Ethiopia, after 10 km patiently waiting in 3rd position, won the race in 1:00:04 h.

Unfortunately I couldn't take part but would love to do it one year.
