Today, Garminless by mistake, I ran approximately 8.15 miles in 79-degree heat with around 60% humidity in Central Park. I did it in 1:02:04, so that comes out to be 7:37s. I did a full loop plus a lower loop and then some on the East Drive feeder–my standard run of last year.
While I could tell I was a little slower today because I was following along with The Flaming Lips’ album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, I felt pretty darn good. I was actually surprised that I wasn’t measuring a faster pace because that’s what I thought I was going!
Other than that, nothing else to say. It was nice to get my mind back around running this distance, though. After my run, I made the same smoothie as yesterday but added mango chunks, too–yum. So far I’m at ~43.03 miles in 4 consecutive days.
