It was a beautiful but a bit humid day for a masked bike ride with my friend, teammate, and fellow running coach Dorothy around Astoria Park and the neighborhood. My foot is stronger and held up really well. This 7-mile ride was fun and challenging! # @ Astoria Park

I ventured out again today on the scooter. My OT wants me to build endurance by scooting a block or two or more every day. So I went to get coffee and lottery tickets. Oof. The heat was challenging. But I did it. I’ve run from Fort Wadsworth to Sheep Meadow. So I need to remember that I. Can. Do. This.

I knew that receiving this package from the Brave Like Gabe Foundation would be poignant but I wasn’t prepared for this: Gabe’s name in the return address. I will proudly wear this shirt and try to honor her example when I have surgery and work to recover.

Folks, this was... HARD. My fitness has fallen off due to my injury so even my power walking pace has slowed. But I did it. And check out my Strava data—I hit those effing tangents like the offspring of Meb Keflezighi and a homing pigeon! My Garmin was so in sync with the mile markers. So my streak is intact! I’ve run every NYRR Queens 10K since it debuted in 2012—that’s 8 in a row! So what’s next? Probably surgery. And if all goes well, I’ll be back here next June to keep my streak alive! Thanks for following and for your support. @ Flushing Meadows–Corona Park
