Ran 8 miles last night in Central Park under a beautiful golden full moon, did you see it? Clocked 8 more this morning - leaving me @ 84 miles 5 and a half days into the week - looking forward to a second week of 100 miles running. 37 Days + some hours 'til the New York City Ma
rathon - I will be ready. Okay, how about a little Harlem history? Right at the very place where I live? Let's roll back to the 1950's where in '52 Ted Corbitt [there on the right] represented the USA in the Marathon at the Helsinki Olympics, in '54 he won the Philadelphia Marathon - back then you might have seen Ted Corbitt, the first President & founding member of the New York Road Runners, running down Lenox Avenue to Central Park - much as I do today - these are the footsteps I run in - and this "throw back" video clip is where I live today - Harlem's Lenox Terrace - it's the 50th Anniversary of this place where many legendary Harlemites moved in and lived starting in 1958 - a few minutes & great throwback of Swingin' Harlem and how this apartment complex came to be - [created by Ken Sargent] - have a great day!
