Runner and Race Director
Last night I ran in the 2nd Annual WGen Back-to-School 5k Brooklyn Fun Run, which I also organized! Last year we had the run on a Saturday morning, and it was a loop of Prospect Park. There were about half a dozen participants, including a couple of significant others.
This year, because of our fabulous new office location in DUMBO, we opted for a 5k run across the Brooklyn Bridge (aside: I *so* love that USATF Google Maps site!).
Several co-workers and I donned sneakers and our very patriotic orange and blue t-shirts and shorts and headed across the bridge. It was a beautiful evening, and everyone made it back for post-race carbs (in the form of beer) at Water Street Restaurant.
Props to all the Genners who represented our athletic side last night: John, Doug, Leslie, Jacklyn, Paul, Kate, Max, Joe, Giselle, Jillian, and Crystal.
Despite the overall fabulousness of our new office, it doesn't have a gym (er, The Gym) in the building, so I've been much lazier about activity during the day. Doing the run across the bridge last night gave me the idea that I could pretty easily do that on my lunch break, especially since the fabulousness of this office includes 2 showers.

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Ooooh, Hoooo.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.
I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of May
With my girl.
This song popped into my head when I read this post. I have no other explanation.
