i'm not entirely sure what moved me to sign up for this race. i think it was a combination of 1) stubbornness to finish my 9+1 in case i wanted to do the NYC marathon in 2013, 2) motivation to get off my butt and keep running, 3) curiosity to see how a medium distance would feel post-marathon, and 4) desire to be the kind of person who signs up for 15k races on a lark. whatever the reason, sign up i did, and run it i did. we did 2 partial loops of the park. weather was fine. i didn't really race this, but treated it as a long run.
it went well enough, i didn't push hard and felt fine at the finish. saw my friend penny briefly afterwards as well which was fun. i finished in 1:23:31 with a pace of 8:58 (juuuuust below that 9-min mark).
it was nice to just do a race without months of training involved, and i think i'll be doing more of that for the time being!
