The Belated Update

Wow, so yesterday was the first time since I started this blog (which admittedly was not that long ago) that I actually forgot to write after my run. How embarrassing! After all that talk about consistency in my last post, I actually get it together to get a run in, and still manage to mess up the routine. Ah, well. It was a pretty good run. I ran the Fort Greene loop again and managed to do five intervals on the stairs. The humidity was kind of brutal and the pace of my second-half split after the stairs was almost a full minute slower than my pace on the way there. Still, I count it as successful since it didn't hurt so much - except at the beginning as my legs were a bit sore from Saturday, but I managed to push through it - and hit a good rhythm in the last mile. I feel like every time I do this Fort Greene loop I get in a really good groove right at the end of the run. Maybe it's time to try Prospect Park again? Added bonus to today's run - the incredibly cute girl that blew past me on the runner's loop, and then ran by again while I was running stairs. Not sure why she caught my eye more than the other women that I see when I run that park, but there it is. I hope to get in two more runs this week before I shut it down this weekend. I'm running a Roosevelt Island 5k on Labor Day, and while it should be pretty easy to beat my Memorial Day time, I want to crush it. Where was this motivation the last four weeks? Run easy.
