5K & NY Philharmonics

Over the weekend I was lucky enough to run a 5k race in the bronx. It's called the 'Hunts Point 5k Hustle.' It is held by the Sustainable South Bronx http://www.ssbx.org/ which promotes urban forestry in the Bronx. Research shows that if we plant trees in high level crime areas, crime rates tend to drop. Therefore, I believe in the Project: South Bronx and I hope they will continue to flourish in beautifying Hunts Point.

Anyway, my run was all right! I didn't do as bad as I thought I would! I came in 114 out of 162 and my time was 9:50 per mile. Look me up! It's cool!

So now, I'm looking forward to my next race, which will be in July 12, 2008. This is in Central Park and it's the Park-to-Park 10k race. Hopefully I will finish. haha.

On the other hand, on Tuesday the 24th, I went to the Concert in the Park featuring the New York Philharmonics. They were playing music from Russian Composers which consisted of Shostakovich's Festive Overture, Op. 96, Medelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A Major, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and Sousa's Three Marches. Tchaikovsky & Sousa's pieces are the popular pieces that we still here on major films. At the end of the event, there were fireworks! all in all, a wonderful, magical night. There were a lot of people there and stupid me forgot my camera.

Well, I think that sums up the exciting life of Anna! Until then....adieu
