New York Cares Day Spring 2013. Good day to paint some park benches! (at Bowne Park)

The course took us through Brooklyn Bridge Park, starting at Pier 6, around the Pier 5 fields, past the Pier 2 and 3-4 construction areas, along the Pier 1 park path, then around Jane’s Carousel, where we doubled back to Pier 6. Super flat, super easy.
The weather was in the 30s and windy - I definitely did not enjoy the thirty jacket-less minutes waiting for the starting gun to go off. Just look at my starting line selfie.
The night before the race I dreamed that I came in dead last… I guess that’s the runner’s equivalent of dreaming you went to school naked? Good news! I definitely didn’t come in last. I finished well under my goal of 30 minutes, and I’m really proud of myself for pacing effectively. Go me! *toot toot* Note to self: don’t forget to hit “stop” on RunKeeper after crossing the finish line - that 19:21 split is heinous.
One of my favorite things about running the Dugan yesterday was seeing the very diverse crowd that turned out, from the crazy sprinters (15:39!), to the 10-year old kids, to the inspirational folks that chugged along at the back of the pack. So awesome.
40 days left until the Brooklyn Half!

Picked up my bib today after work. The sun was just setting, and the view from Brooklyn Bridge Park was breathtaking. This panorama doesn’t even come close to capturing it. Spring is in the air!

Sunset from the new place.
Fun thing from last night: We were waiting for a cab and I thought these trees on 6th Ave were very pretty, all lit up.
Fun thing from right now: I was curious about the trees so I found them in Google Maps and re-created the shot with Google Street View! Hi, I’m a dork.

Happy Bike Month and Bike to Work Week! We’re taking part in Bike NYC’s Commuter Challenge. This morning, Joe and I met up to ride across the Manhattan Bridge to our office in Soho. It was the perfect morning for a bike ride, and the scenery wasn’t too shabby either.
Is your own bike looking a little dusty from being in storage all winter? Our friends at Etsy (who are also taking part in the Commuter Challenge) show you how to tune up your bike…

Happy cycling, and be safe out there!
I bought a bike on Saturday and this morning I made Joe ride with me to work. I didn’t get hit by a car, and I didn’t kill any pedestrians - let’s chalk today up as a good day.
(Also, my face is HUGE, good grief.)
