Wall Street Run (3M), 6/24/2010

This evening was the NYRR Wall Street Run. This is the third WSR that I’ve run, and WSR ’08 was my first formal race (and first NYRR race). I set my PR pace at last year’s WSR, but today was really hot (87 deg) and humid (57%) and my training has been pretty weak lately. In the end I took two walking breaks during the race, but still posted a 9:22/mi pace, which isn’t terrible. I’ve gotta get back on a regular training schedule!

Slow morning run on the CP Loop, 6/9/2010

I forced my way through the tired and got out for a run on the CP loop. It was a bit slower, and took a bit more effort, than I expected, but that’s the price I pay for taking so many days off, I guess.

Morning ride in CP, 6/8/2010

I got out for two laps of the CP loop this morning on my bike this morning. This probably qualifies as my first training ride of the season, and I hope to get out more regularly so that I’ll be in proper shape to take on the century route during the Hazon ride over Labor Day.

Hazy hot and humid for Japan Day 4M, 6/6/2010

It was a pretty gross day yesterday for NYRR’s Japan Day 4-miler. As a nice change, the race started and ended on the 102nd St transverse, rather than down below 72nd, but the route was otherwise the standard 4 mile loop. I probably shouldn’t have passed up all of the water stations, but it ended fine, if a bit slow.
