A Wardrobe Malfunction, An NYC Marathon Ballot Application & Asics Novablast 5's! - Video

After just under 5 hours of waiting, I am in the ballot for the NYC marathon. Just a waiting game now to see if my application is successful, chances are slim, but you gotta try, right?

Felt heavy and tired this morning, all a bit ‘bleurgh’! Did not fancy any kind of run let alone a testing tempo run. I knew I could hold 4:55 /km for 2k, but I was not convinced I could hit 4:15 /km for 2k in between those slightly slower segments, especially when I’m already feeling sluggish. However, after a brief wardrobe malfunction, I managed to pull myself out there and @runna got it right and it actually felt pretty strong!

And finally, been waiting on these Asics Novablast 5’s to be restocked everywhere for weeks so I can finally retire my Hoka’s. Today was the day, and boy are they comfy. I would liken them to trying a memory foam pillow for the first time. Looking forward to getting a long run done in them now!

Anyway, that’s enough for today. Until tomorrow, t’ra.
