Perfect circle
Last week's 5-miler in Central Park was special. In the mix of 6,000 were Halloween revelers who kept the mood festive. Cats, witches and an unusually lively pack of women dressed up as candy corn bopped along the course. A member of a Chinese team bore a t-shirt that said "Powered by dim sum," and a portly 60-year old wore a shirt that read "I know. I'm slow. Get over it." Some ran with good humor and others, with heart. I spotted many shirts bearing the logos of Team in Training, Fred's Team and Race for the Cure. Running with purpose, these folks inspired me to do the same. Ignoring minor discomforts, I picked up my pace and ran for Coach Paul.
On Sunday, November 18, 2007, some of us from Team New York Aquatics will be participating in Central Park for the 14th Annual Race to Deliver. The 4-mile run/walk is a fundrasier for God's Love We Deliver, a not-for-profit agency which provides free nutritious meals to those living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other serious illnesses. Please join us! To register for the event (or make a donation), visit the race site and look for the Team New York Aquatics page.
