2 Mile Run = Home – Dobholes Lane – Home
Date: 3rd October 2006
Conditions: Cool, Dry
Notes: This was my first early morning run. It was very cold at first as we are fast approaching winter. As I started running however I soon forgot all about the temperature. I took the first mile at a very conservative pace so to avoid the risk of injury.
As I turned back on myself at the mile marker I decided to really go for it and try and break my personal record for the mile. As I picked up the pace I became very aware that my chest started to tighten up due to the cold I have. I did not let this stop me however, in my pursuit for my record. I crossed the line and shaved two seconds off my time. It was painful to get it but it was all worth it now I have it.
Positive: I ran my fastest mile to date.
Negative: My chest was hurting due to my cold / flu.
Fast Mile: 7.15 (PB)
Slow Mile: 7.56
Run time: 0h15m11s

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."
