Percy Sutton Harlem 5K Run

Another awesome run, with my running buddy SLG. The day was kinda rainy, and it was my first race not in Central Park. Not that that was a big deal, because Harlem is just a subway train ride away. The run was very hilly, and I took off after the first big hill because I just wanted to attack the hill. It was actually a beautiful day and a beautiful route. They closed some of the streets, and part of the run was atop a hill that had a wonderful view of the streets below.

I scored another PR for mile average. This time it was under nine minutes, even if the race was still only a 5K (about 3.1 mi). Here's the numbers:
