At 9 am this morning, our family ran through the Lincoln Tunnel.
It was the 19th annual 5k (3.1mi) Lincoln Tunnel Challenge 2005. Actually, the three kids rode in strollers that Melinda and I pushed as we ran the course. We started at the mouth of the tunnel on the New Jersey side, raced through the tube to just out of the exit in Manhattan, turned around and then headed back to good ol' Jersey for the finish.
Our first time to run this course was 7 years ago before any of the kids were born. This year marks our second attempt. And wouldn't you know it, our race times for the 1998 and 2005 events are practically the same! Just less than a minute apart. How 'bout them apples!
Now it ain't everyday that a person can take a run or stroll through a major tunnel in the NYC/NJ area. It's therefore why I marveled at and took part in this event. Just another something to spice up life's mostly mundane days, I guess.
Run, run, run!
