Long run cut short

Today's run was supposed to be 10, but my cold was getting to me and i was really dried out, so i was getting really rubbed raw in some places. I cut it at 8 miles. It was a nice day out though, i enjoyed the warmer temps and the fact i needed only 1 layer and no gloves.

Westside 8 miles

Tonight, I just went out on an easy 8 miles, just to get back in the groove of things. Still battling a stinking cold. Oh i wish it would just go away

Rainy 8 miler

Today, I tried to beat the awful weather and make myself feel a little better with this stupid cold. I headed to Queens, ran to the peak of the bridge, and then turned around and came back. I wanted to run up the Eastside River Park, but unfortunately it was blocked off for construction. I had to back track to get back to Central Park(laughing at the mess of cars on the FDR as i ran) and cut through the great lawn to finish off an 8. I was soaked, but it was warm enough out to be a nice run.

Running in Hartford

Ash and I were in Hartford for the day and were staying with friends right across from Bushnell Park. So, we decided to explore and take a few laps around. It was freezing out, but we managed to get in just over 3.5 miles.

The dreaded treadmill

We're away on a small weekend vacation, and i hit the treadmill tonight at the hotel. I don't know how people stomach these things day after day. I made it through 8 miles. It is so hard not to get dizzy on that thing. I much rather prefer Central Park for my runs...but of course 5,000 people were not trying to run on the treadmill at the same time I was

9 mile tempo

Awesome 9 mile tempo run, started off in the 6:40's, progressively lowered my time. The last 2 miles were 5:57 and 5:47. Successful, plus a cooldown with Ash

Miserable long run

It was 34 F and raining on my 12 miler today. Never have i been more miserable out on the run. I got soaked, and everywhere I ran was covered in ice. It was impossible to maintain a steady pace. Oh well, i did it, it's done. Time for some food!!

1 minute repeats

I supposed to do a track workout tonight, but I did not feel like finding a track. Instead, i ran a 2 mile warmup, then ran 1 minute hard, 30 seconds easy , 1 minute hard, 30 seconds easy, and repeated for 20 minutes or about 3 miles. Then, 1 mile cool down. It was a challenging run, but nice to see it on the graph. My hard segments were about 5:20 per mile.
