Post mortem: I think I want to do speed and hill work like a mofo. And lose some serious weight to get sleek and fast (er, I mean faster.) And I'm still toying with the flat and fast Jersey Marathon - and well decided on the NYC Half March 21. I also bought a headlight for $20 at EMS. I'm totally ready for winter.

Rookie mistakes, be gone! I am no longer a first timer, bwa ha ha !
