June 26. NYRR LGBT Pride Run. I did better than I had to fear I would, and not as well as I expected myself to. It was the humid air and the interrupted training. – Vibes great. The late-night DJ voice at the start sending three runners out on the course every ten seconds, the volunteers along the course making sure no one misses a turn, and the finish line emcee announcing everyone coming in by name. J. and I clap, cheer, and study faces. Who crosses the finish line with how much effort, how much struggle, how much laughter.
