Ha!  Today&#8217;s 10.01 miles over Queensboro Bridge and around Central Park was quite the contrast from yesterday&#8217;s shorter run.  My legs just didn&#8217;t want to go as fast as they wanted to yesterday!  No worries, though, since I probably didn&#8217;t load up on enough carbs to carry me fast for long.  And lest I forget, I did do what is becoming the notoriously slow path of from-my-home, over-the-bridge, down-East-60th.  I did the distance in 7:43s, which isn&#8217;t great, but it was 71 degrees which felt on the verge of warm, and my calves and ankles were pretty sore from running about 38.5 miles over the last 3 days.  Here are the deets:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/52610316'><\/iframe><br \/>\nThe highlight of this run was a small Asian guy who passed me on Great Hill.  His physique suggested he was a much better runner than me.  He got some uncatchable distance from me.  Before that point, a tall possibly Indian runner passed me, who didn&#8217;t look all that better than me but was putting on a good show.  I thought it was lost to reach both of them.  THEN, though, they looked strikeable.<\/p>\n<p>I set my mind to catching them.  First, I timed in my head how many seconds it took me to reach the Asian fellow&#8217;s landmark.  That is, he&#8217;d pass a pole, and I&#8217;d count how many seconds it would take me to reach that landmark.  First measure?  24 seconds.  Second measure?  About 21 seconds.  I kept lowering my measures.  Over the course, the Indian fellow didn&#8217;t catch the Asian fellow, dropping out before he had a chance to.  But I kept closing in on the Asian fellow.  I was doing this intentionally.  I wanted to see if I might possibly be able to pass him.<\/p>\n<p>And sure enough, I got darn close.  At one point, I was within 2 seconds of him.  He was right there.  But I was also picturing how much I had to keep up this huffy pace in order to stay in front of him.  My will just wasn&#8217;t there, so I pulled back and slowed down.  I did make an impressive catch-up, though, and over the course of a mile or so, I nearly caught the guy.  Fun!  This all happened in the 8th and 9th miles, starting just south of the Reservoir.  I was doing somewhere between a 7:00 and a 7:21.<\/p>\n<p>Man, my calves hurt, my ankles here, and my Achilles hurts, too.  I&#8217;ve really pushed myself.  And I&#8217;m thinking of doing candlelight yoga in the park tonight to get my stretch on.  I&#8217;m not planning on running tomorrow, instead resting my body and prepping it for another long week on set.  I&#8217;m having Oglio &#038; Aglio with Chicken right now, plus a Double Berry Protein Zone Naked Juice to get up the glycogen stores that were probably depleted for today&#8217;s run, and build muscle.  But all in all, it was another beautiful day in Central Park, and what a gorgeous, gorgeous weekend.  Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now I have NON-RESPONSIVE legs! Ha!
