What a perfect race! I was flying into New York to see my daughter’s Freshman Showcase on Tuesday and there just happened to be a 1/2 marathon in central park the Sunday before. Perfect timing! And 2 loops around Central Park on a crisp spring morning with the cherry blossom trees in bloom couldn’t have been better. I was nursing a foot injury and knew I would be spending the rest of the day walking around New York, so I took this one really slow and just tried to enjoy the morning in Central Park.

And to make the morning even better, look who was waiting for me at the finish line…

After the race (and bagels and a shower of course), we poked around the Strand Bookstore, went to see a Broadway show and then met up with family for dinner. The best day ever!

And to make the trip even better, two days later, I got to see my beautiful, talented daughter perform in her first college show.

What a perfect trip!
