Hi all,
Today I added 13,1 miles to my runs, that can be considered as very memorable. Not only thanks to the warm weather here in New York, or the hills in Central Park, or by the high humidity, despite the weather predictions. What makes this half marathon so special, is its setting. Leaving Central Park at the mile 7, into Seventh Avenue, is a stunning view at 8 in the morning. While Times Square is appearing in front, drumbands, rock-groups and an amazing crowd cheers for the runners. Of course it was one special cheering lady that encouraged me to make it to the finish after I started way to fast. Results? Well, my main objective was to run and complete this race: achieved! And my time? Well, the time leaves lots of room for improvement in next races 
Especially if I see that Haile Gebrselassie can make it in 0:59:24…
Thanks all of you that supported me in my efforts to run my first half marathon!
