I ran my second half marathon race in my life. My first one was 7 years ago. I can’t believe how times flies. This time I ran it with my partner. It was such a great feeling being able to finish with her. We’re looking forward to running another half next month. Is that too soon? My knees are already aching. I can only will myself to walk to get food. We’ll need to train a lot better than the first time (no training). This weekend, we ran the first ever Grete’s Great Gallop. It was in memory and “celebration of the life and accomplishments of Norwegian running legend Grete Waitz. Grete, who passed away earlier this year, was a four-time Olympian who won the New York City Marathon a record nine times. She served as chairwoman of NYRR Youth and Community Services and was a tireless promoter of fitness for people of all ages, everywhere.” (Source: www.nyrr.org)
