1.5 Mile Run (x2) = Home – Colliers / Colliers – Home
Date: 30th August 2006
Conditions: Mild, Raining
Notes: On Wednesday evening we had a Football meeting in preparation for our opening game of the season on Thursday night. I decided to run to the meeting. The run there was fine. I completed the 1.5 miles in around 12 minutes but was not officially timing it. The first mile was a breeze and the second too, as the last half mile was down hill.
I was worried however that the return leg may be a different story as I had Derby Road hill to tackle. I did however make it up the hill without stopping and more importantly made it all the way home without stopping.
My time was a little slower but this is hardly surprising since the return leg had a huge hill. I will be doing my next timed run to my mate’s sister’s house on Friday. I will be interested to see if I have progressed since my last timed run.
Positive: I made the return leg without stopping.
Negative: Again, wished I had timed it.
Fast Mile: N/A
Slow Mile: N/A
Run time: N/A

The Five Boroughs
"There's more to this place than Manhattan"
Staten Island
"Only the first half mile is spent on Staten Island as you immediately leave across the Varrazano-Narrows bridge into Brooklyn"
Brooklyn
"Almost half the race is spent in Brooklyn, where many different neighbourhoods and cultural changes are passed through"
Queens
"The race enters Queens at exactly the half way point by crossing the Pulalski Bridge, over Newton creek, where you get your first amazing view of the City. The next 3 miles are spent here until crossing the challenging Queensboro Bridge over the East river."
Manhattan
"The first of two visits into Manhattan comes at mile 16 as you leave the Queensboro Bridge. Greeted by thousands of screaming spectators makes this one of the most memorable moments of the race, before the 4 mile stretch up First Avenue towards the Bronx"
Bronx
"At mile 20 you cross the Willis Avenue Bridge into the Bronx where little over a mile is run before returning to Manhattan across the Madison Avenue Bridge, where you see the Yankee Stadium, which has to be the highlight of the short trip across the Harlem river"
Manhattan 2
"As you arrive back in Manhattan the course proceeds down Fifth Avenue for 3 miles before entering Central Park for the final push and that moment that will last forever."
