With temperatures about 25 degrees cooler than last Sunday’s race, this morning’s 4M Colon Cancer Challenge in Central Park felt more like the end of the winter running season than the beginning of spring. Fortunately, I was not coming off of any illness and started with and maintained a strong pace in the mid-8:00s. I definitely need to do a lot of hillwork through the summer and before the NYC Marathon (223 days) because the smaller hills that we encountered this morning really took it out of me, similar to how the big hills at the north end of the Park sapped my energy last week.
