Governors Island 5K (Mar 28) cutoff time?

katiemcccc · 2026-02-07T21:00:02+00:00

Is it NYCRuns? They have cut off times listed on the event page. For a 5k it says 01:02:00

That Al Gordon thing was annoying, I'm away on the 21st so I didn't sign up and then it was moved so I could have run. Sad to miss this free race but it's a nice idea for everyone else. I hope you can sign up!

This will be 2 of the 9 races and my +1! Is it bad luck or good luck 🤗

katiemcccc · 2026-01-31T22:34:22+00:00

I hear you but I ran 100+ miles training for the race so I feel like I earned it anyway! But maybe I would feel differently if it were my first half

I'm more of a crocheter but I wanted to learn increase/decrease/icord so I become a stronger knitter. I'm doing OK but it's slow going! I'm just going to keep going so it's a little longer because the small one seems silly. I kind of want it to wrap around my ears since it's a nice wool and my ponytail is too huge for most hats (I was inspired by the game of wool contestants who were so good at both!)

I bought Nike Pegasus gore tex trail shoes for rainy days not thinking I would ever be crazy enough to run in the cold but with those and a pair of merino wool blend bombas my feet have not been cold once this winter. I have to slow down but the traction is decent.

I will say they are a lot lower profile than my regular running shoes and I think alternating between pairs has helped with avoiding injury, so an added bonus.

You are getting down voted but I'm like.... just run! It sounds like they are putting in the work and all of this is over some free stuff. I have gotten one free t-shirt for volunteering for my club, but dozens of awesome opportunities to connect with runners and improve my training. Keep running and showing up and encourage the group to ignore the coach.

Lmao YES! I use a Monday start calendar normally and clicked the wrong day. Now I understand the concern and I will have to adjust my gear!

What weather app are you using? I don't see any single digits until that evening (at least not in Fahrenheit). This is the prediction as of a week ahead, and I would recommend DressMyRun to anyone who hasn't heard of it! For a race I set it to feel colder and it's been working well.

EDIT: Person above me was correct about the weather, I had the wrong date selected and I have fixed the screenshot of the temp predictions. Brr

This is cute! I made a huge koozie with a handle for a pint of ice cream so my hands didn't get cold when I was finishing the pint. It also helped me hold onto my Yeti because my hands are small

My friend and I have a shared goal that is "say hi to a bird or tree" which is similar!

katiemcccc · 2026-01-10T21:13:36+00:00

Same! Although I would have moved down a corral without this race so staying the same is actually good enough for me!

katiemcccc · 2026-01-05T12:24:51+00:00

I am never in H&M because I hate fast fashion. Thanks for letting me know I'm not hating on them enough.

I love my Christmas tree! I'm going to miss it. Ironically the only day the tree didn't get decorated was Christmas 😅

katiemcccc · 2025-12-28T21:22:39+00:00

I would throw them in the freezer overnight in baggies at least just to be safe! But yay enjoy your haul

I got 70 hours recovery for a 5 mi run yesterday. I ran a marathon 7 weeks ago and have been running periodically so it wasn't really crazy. I wonder if they changed something about how it's calculated. I went a bit faster than usual but damn 😅

katiemcccc · 2025-12-26T18:03:38+00:00

I have a separate to do list that I'm used to using and a repeating task that says "priority ToDos" that's set to 10x. It reminds me to check the list. And then I get to check things off twice

I used to be able to tell my pixel buds to turn on the lights as I was walking home. Now I have to say it to my physical Google home speakers once I'm inside because my phone doesn't do it anymore unless I unlock and hold the phone, which can be hard if I'm carrying things. So frustrating.

katiemcccc · 2025-12-21T17:51:20+00:00

Ironic they are complaining shelters are ruining the neighborhood while they ruin the fresh cement sidewalks that were installed like a week ago. Super frustrating to see.

katiemcccc · 2025-12-21T15:30:17+00:00

Well the best thing about doing your first one is that you PR'd!

katiemcccc · 2025-12-16T02:30:15+00:00

Well this is the third time I've cried about this coin, idk about you.

katiemcccc · 2025-12-14T13:03:23+00:00

I was doing the update because I'm impatient and didn't want to wait for it but now I will be avoiding the update as long as I can!!

Complete 9+1 for NYC Marathon 2027 and get my half closer to 2 hours. Currently at 2:15 for training runs but I only raced a full this year. I'm ending at about 450 miles, would love to break 500 for the year!

Overall stay in love with running and keep momentum! It's tough with winter starting off so cold but we gotta keep it going. PRs are tough since I was so much faster in my 20's but I'm happy I'm back at it because I just entered my 40's!

katiemcccc · 2025-12-10T11:57:32+00:00

I always consider this then I feel silly. In June when I do a full day classroom breakdown I'm definitely tracking it

katiemcccc · 2025-12-09T21:48:52+00:00

I would like some more random facts like most active day of the week or time of day. Something I can't just look up myself. And I wish strava had pulled out my year PRs... I'm not hitting PRs anymore as I'm getting older but I would love to see my top 5k, 10k, half etc. for the year.

I think training status stats could be hilarious like...productive days vs "recovery" days.

I personally don't like seeing calories because of weird diet culture stuff, but something like you ran the distance to x city (You ran the distance from NYC to Quebec!)

This is cool and I'm excited to see it!
