Long Easy Run in Central Park

Long easy run in Central Park.  We went 8 miles.  Did a 6 mile loop and then a 2 mile loop.  There was a race going on, so it was fun because part of the time we ran with racers on the course.  It was hot, and I was pretty exhausted when it was over.  In fact, it's the closest I've gotten to fainting in the last few years.  I thought my legs would be fresh since I skipped running the last 2 days, but they still felt heavy.  My cardio was fine though.  I decided to run slowly and do conversation (a.k.a. "fat burning") pace.  I didn't have my ipod and Raj and I talked the whole time.  There were some pretty big hills on the course too, which surprised me.  I'm now headed for the shower and the world's best breakfast at Norma's.  (Yesterday I had chocolate french toast with whip cream, strawberries, and chocolate syrup...Good thing I ran 8 today!)

Total time 83:58.  Nice and slow!
