I’m a bit behind with my running news, but a few weeks ago I received a package from NYRR recognizing my completion of the Half Marathon Grand Prix for 2008. Last year was the first time I completed the full Grand Prix, finishing all five of the NYRR half marathons. Do I get bonus points for also running the New York City Half Marathon?
Included was a nice letter, a patch, a drawstring backpack (perfect for wet and dirty running clothes after a good workout) and a finishers certificate. The finishers certificate listed all of the races with my finishing times. The only problem – some of the times on the certificate are mixed up and don’t quite match with the race they are listed next to, sort of like a homework assignments my 7 year old might bring home from school: Match the race on the left with the finishing time on the right!
Seriously though, I’m proud of the effort, especially since I will not be repeating this year as I already missed Bronx.
