The Run for Water-April's race

So I haven't posted in awhile and I missed the race recap for my April event. On April 18, 2010 there were over 200 global events held as part of the Dow Live Earth Run for Water The New York City event was held in Prospect Park and it was an incredible event. It was a 6K race-which is the average distance women and children walk to get water every day. I showed up late because the subway took forever to get out there but it was such a cool event they let me register and start even though the official start had already passed! Everyone there was really cool and the post race concert was amazing! I got to see The Roots and John Legend-awesome! The concert was such a blast. And there was a collection of water-related organizations at the "water village" and I stopped by a really cool booth- Athletes for a Fit Planet. We had a really good discussion about ways to be a greener runner and it was a great combination of two of my interests-running and going green!
The race itself wasn't that difficult but it was my first race after my marathon so it felt really great to be back. There was really only one hill and it was more the gentle sloping kind than an intense incline. It was the perfect little challenge for my first race back. And now I can't wait for my next races. I am hoping for a 10K in both May and June!
