Today the Dukes of Flatbush came out for a one mile race down 5th Avenue in NYC, the Continental Airlines Fifth Avenue Mile. This is a nice quick race that surprisingly takes a lot of you. Try running a mile flat out and see how you feel after.

The race starts on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue near East 80th Street, in the heart of “Museum Mile.” From there it heads one mile south on Fifth Avenue to the finish at East 60th Street.

I did not get a chance to see the world class athletes compete, which I regret because I would have loved to see Alan Webb win the race in a blazing 3:52.7. Under four minutes for a mile is just mind FAST.

Up for tomorrow - ING NYC Marathon Tune-up - 18 mile organized run with another 2 miles on the end just to get the 20 miler in
