We didn't get rain, just wind and beautiful weather. Earl, you're my favorite hurricane. Jess and I banged out 18 miles (on a sweet tour of Manhattan) this morning and feel great.
Needing to switch it up a bit, we took the A train up to 125th St and Morningside Heights to start our run. Jess has been having some back issues since I forced her to do box jumps and burpees with me (you can't do those torturous activities alone). However, she toughed it out to run 18 with me - and stay on marathon training schedule.
After a quick stop at McD's (where the women working were so nice and let us use their bathroom) we were off. Ran around Morningside Heights park and then out to Riverside Park before cutting into Central Park via 97th St. So nice to run in a different part of the city.
Ran around Central Park, ignoring Harlem Hill and happy to do it. Exited after a loop and a half at 59th St and finished up our run in Battery City via West Side Highway.
We both felt really good...well, I slowed down around mile 15 or so while Jess killed it! and that was AFTER her fall. Yes, Jess took a major digger on our run. We'd just had our 2nd GU and needed to find a water fountain asap. There's an area of WSH just north of Chelsea Piers that has a bit of a speed bump crossing the sidewalk. Mind you, it's painted red and there's a sign AND we've run past it before - both commenting on it. Jess tripped on it. I heard a yell and when I looked back, there she was, flat on her back. She got up and kept going. I didn't want to laugh and I think I was too tired to laugh so we just kept going. Enjoying a good chuckle now though.
We both finished strong this time and i'm feeling great, even after working for 7 hrs at lulu. So, I dedicate this run to Earl and his cool, breezy nature.
