FINISHED FIRST Roslyn Booster Greg Fried 5K Second Year in a Row

Finished 1st in my age class (55-59) at the Roslyn Booster Greg Fried 5K for the second year in a row.  Results: 1st Place  27:23   8:50 pace

FUNNING DOWN RUNWAY 22L @JFK 5K

This was one crazy run.  Decided to sign up for this race seeing it online.  Turned out to be very different.  Though not a large race (under 1,000), it has a larger appearance.  After check-in we boarded busses and transported through the main entrance to the tarmac and Runway 22.  Running down 22L was amazing.  Straight, flat, jets landing a couple of hundred feet above us and taxiing on Runway 22R for take-off.  Ran straight down to the end and headed back up to the start with a slight curve towards the finish.  Placed 4th in my age category (missed 3rd by 30 sec.).  Honestly, while running these races its hard to ascertain who you are really competing against as far as age is concerned.  Results: Finished 195 out of 963 with a time of 27:09 at an 8:47 pace.

Running over and back of this magnificent bridge is simply glorious
