the Prospect Park Lullwater, maybe a third of the way through today’s walk
my teammate led us along the edge of the Prospect Park Lake on paths I have never been on

achieved my goals in yesterday’s marathon
- enjoyed it from beginning to end ✅
- ran faster than my previous marathon (which I have never done before!) ✅
- ran fastest of my 50s ✅
- never stopped to walk, also a 1st ✅
10/10 but would I do it again? 🤷🏻♀️
