    Good morning!

     

    I ran 8.2 excellent miles.  It was low 50s with light rain, and I loved it.  I'll call it my LR for the week.

     

    Have a non-suck Monday!

      Well, apparently I left my lunch at home by accident, so it's a fun day already.  25 trainer miles.

          Whadaya say there, chuckos!  It's a Monday swim and run day and I got the first part of that done already.  Just need to plow through this workday so I can get the other part done.  Yay, last day of winter!  I'm coming out of a winter a faster runner than when I went into it.  I'm very happy about that.

            I've got my goal HM for the season coming up Saturday.  The too-early-to-count-on weather forecast says 32 degrees, sunny, light breeze.  It honestly feels like a year since I've had awesome racing weather like that.  I sure as hell hope it holds.

              I also hope it's the correct distance!

                I got 13.16 on the Garmin last year and missed sub-90 by 14 seconds.  Hmph.

                  Your Saturday run was at your PR pace for 10 miles so you should be in for a huge PR!

                        Hope so.  The middle five miles are hilly and I've been neglecting the hill training lately, so I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.

                            With regard to the GPS watch having trouble in the NYC Half Marathon yesterday, I had similar problems.  I got credit for running a mile faster than I ever have before, and at one point I was running a 4:15 pace.  The track on the map is a squiggly line where 42nd St. and 7th Ave are straight.  I'm fairly sure it has to do with GPS signals bouncing off of glass-clad office towers and making it hard for the watch to know where it really is.  I had the same issue a couple years ago running a waterfront half - where the course ran past some office towers, the Garmin map showed me running in the Hudson River.

                             

                            I got "credit" for running 13.69, which is more than my watch usually shows for a half.

                             

                            I agree with the previous poster that the course for the NYC Half was a good one.  As a NJ resident, the effort to get there by start time will probably keep me from coming back, but I say that today.  Who knows how I'll feel next year?

                            5k 23:48.45 (3/22); 4M 31:26 (2/22); 5M 38:55 (11/23); 10k 49:24 (10/22);

                              4 miles easy including strides. Unremarkable otherwise.

                                Yep, GPS can go haywire in the city.  This was on the opposite side of Central Park.  I got a 4:12 split on the 13th mile, lol.  I figured I was near some top secret government laboratory, but Fred is probably right.
