Proceeds to benefit trail maintenance at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve
Saturday November 8, 2008 @ 8:30 am

The Memorial Mile Shirt made an appearance at the Inaugural 5k "Rockie's" Benefit Race at the Rockefeller State Park Persevere in Pocantico Hills, NY. The proceeds from the event will go to help maintain the many beautiful trails that run throughout the park. The course started and ended at the intersection of Eagle Hill and Pocantico River Trails. It went north (uphill switchbacks at the north end of 13 bridges) in one big loop to 13 bridges trail, then eventually that turns into Gory Brook Trail (flat to downhill), over the little wooden bridge then back over the stone arch bridge to home.

It was a tough start, fast stretch and a nice test over the final mile or so. I felt pretty good, as this was the first time I was able to run in week. I made sure I did a good warm up before the race and cool down after.
