First of all...Jon I can not tell you how jealous I am of your morning run. I was really hoping to feel well enough while I was in NYC to do Central Park...all around. I hope you enjoyed it. I was so in love with the whole experience, I started looking at places I could live around NY....crazy. Hope the business you are conducting is going well. Jenn...thank you for the support of visual runners...it really is dangerous...and so preventable in many cases. I just don't get why people want to be invisible when they run.
Sleep has really become elusive again. I just don't feel like I am getting more than 3 and a half or 4 hours each night. I hoped, once I really got back into training, that I might be able to sleep more soundly. I guess it is just something I need to deal with and get over. I hadn't been doing all that well with the diet up until this week. I hadn't been putting on weight by anymeans, but I really wasn't taking it off either. So I decided to incorporate some public humiliation and ask people on Facebook to help me stay on task. It has worked really well so far this week.
I got up and dressed like most mornings. The temps have been staying pretty low, so it is always important to have on layers. I was glad to have them this morning. As I was leaving, Pat, one of my upstairs neighbors was getting home, we exchange pleasantries and I continued my walk to the corner.
My pace locked in quickly and I worked to not go too fast. I think I did well until the hill leveled off...and then I felt the pace inch up slowly. I did not hit much traffic until the 15th st crossing back into my neighborhood, so that please me. It is helpful to get used to the pace without interruption. The IT was a little sore but not too bad. My time for the run was 28 minutes and 49 seconds. Good run. Thanks for reading!

I have to say -- as much as I enjoyed the run (and this morning's 11 in CP, too :-) I'm glad I don't live here! Maybe its the kids thing. Regardless, having Central Park would be awesome. This morning at 5:45 it was 25 degrees, very light snow. Perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteSean -- hopefully, like everything else with training, your sleep patterns will fall into line. If you are losing sleep and need to skip a run to catch up -- DO IT. Especially on the day before a key workout (Long or mid-long or tune up race).
