NOT ME! Are you kidding? I'm talking about the male and female winners of the NYC Half-Marathon! I totally forgot it was on this morning, so I caught it on-line. I am completely in awe of these people! The male winner, Kenya's Peter Kirui, crossed the finish line at 59:39 and the female winner, Firehiwot Dado from Ethiopia, crossed at 1:08:35. That's about a 4.5 minute mile for Kirui and a 5.5 minute mile for Dado. I'm barely doing
HALF A MILE in 4.5 minutes! I am just amazed by what the human body can do. Congratulations to them and the other 15,334 finishers!
