midnight run

So went to a small party last night and then rang in the New Year with the Midnight Run in Central Park. I had planned on meeting up with Benjamin at the baggage check area, but we were both with groups of people and never managed to connect. I went out hard and finished in about 27:14 (it’s a four-mile fun run, not officially timed). About half a mile from the finish I passed Chelle, who was dressed as a hot pop tartlet, or something. I think all the Champagne sloshing around in her tummy was the only way I beat her, it’s been ages since I’ve done that. I did get beat right at the finish line by two Los Compadres runners, though dammit. I always seem to compete against some of those runners.

I didn’t take any photos of the evening, alas, so here is one from my walk to work this mornning. (Yeah, I’m at work, like I am every Sunday. Fridays off). Huge movie posters on a nearby building, close-ups of Kate Beckinsale and Zhang Ziyi.

Happy 2006, everyone!
