So I celebrated New Year's in style this year, taking part in the New York Road Runners
Emerald Nuts Mightnight Run. This was my first time participating in the event, and I planned to lightly jog the four miles -- until [cue dramatic music] another participant challenged me to a race. "If you beat me, I'll run this whole course three more times," the slightly-drunk runner shouted at me on the second mile, taking a decent-sized lead. When I caught up to him with half of a mile left on the course, he was still confident, advising me not to burn myself out before the finish. That's when I turned it on and went as hard as possible, with the Rocky theme-music still blasting in my head. Needless to say, I defeated him with 10 seconds to spare, and he barely touched my hand when I held it out and said, "Good race." A nice way to start out the new year...oh, and there was that freaky Canadian girl who was so into me like Tamia, but I'm too classy to talk about that here. Um, e-mail me if you want details...
