If you can, try and get your hands on WALL's debut EP Shoestring.
The music is soft, folksy and somehow makes me feel all nice and fuzzy on the inside. This album is the perfect companion to any lazy Sunday.
Here's another favorite track to ease you into today.
Participants entering Central Park in the wee hours of the morning. Everyone keeps close to stay warm.
Best way to stay warm before a race is to come best dressed in a garbage bag. The garbage bag retains the heat and you'll be super toasty (and happy).
Elite runners starting the race. Some finished a whole loop (six miles) of Central Park in less than thirty minutes. Now that is FAST.
Finally crossed the start line. I'm smiling because I have no idea what is ahead of me.
Running through Times Square was exhilarating, a lot of potholes but it was exhilarating. Still smiling.
Finally made it to Wall Street and still managed to keep a smile on my face.
My first half was filled with lots of spectators, support, and lessons.
Lesson 1 - This half would not have been possible without those who donated to LLS & TNT. A big thank you to them!!
Lesson 2 - It's better to run with a smile.
Lesson 3 - Why run with something on/in your ears when people are cheering you on?
It was a fantastic race and I hope to raise funds, train and race with Team in Training soon.
I also encourage all of you to give it a try.

Sometimes when the world is racing through your head the best way to clear it out and get some grounding on it all is to take a simple walk. With a 5D on hand and the snow lightly falling, the boyfriend and I did just that. We took these pictures before the NYC Half so I couldn't help but be nervous - it was my first major race I did with Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and I didn't want to let anybody down. Good news, I did just fine (great in fact).
Us New Yorkers can feel spring from our toes to the end of our fingertips. It's almost here, but mother nature can be very indecisive at times. It's too warm for heavy jackets yet too cold for sweaters. BUT, have you given your winter vest a thought? Now is the time you dust them off and take them outside. And before you know it, it'll be time to hang that vest up (or put it under your bed storage thingy with all your other winter wardrobe pieces).
P.s. enjoy the cold breeze now before the summer heat takes over our asphalt jungle.
