Back in NYC for business again this week.  Run in the Park again around the outter loop, I had forgotten how much of a "climb" there was on the far north end of the route.  Cool temps in the 40's had me running quite quickly (unplanned) with 2 or 3 miles at MRP and the others at low 7 minute pace.  Not sure why,  but I felt the workout a bit late in the day, probably a combination of business travel and work stress too.

Easy 5.5 miles very early in the Park this morning.  Stumbled on a rut in the road and fell in the dark.  Not a big deal, but scraped up my hands, twisted my ankle and banged up my shoulder.  That'll wake you up.  Decent run, which I kept to a reasonable pace of around 7:30 for most of the miles.  Cool and rainy 48 degrees.

Very early run again this morning in the Park.  A little sore from my fall yesterday.  Ran a little different route today 6.0 miles.  Chillier today with more rain expected, but warmer late in the day.  If I get finished up on time today with work, I will try a second run.

Easy 5.5 miles in the Park with some different directional loops than earlier in the week.  I ran up on the "track" around the reservoir this morning.  Quite brisk in the low 40's and very windy.  Been a long week, look forward to heading home at the end of the day.

8.0 miles around Feathersound twice and then through the Carillon office park around both lakes.  Very nice weather today - warm 82 degrees with low humidity and a light breeze.  Was especially nice compared to the cold and rainy weather of NY for the last few days.

Iphone does not play well with the text portion of the blog entry.... I am in Gainesville this weekend to pick up my daughter who is just finishing up her freshman year at UF.  Ran at around 4:30 but the temperatures were around 91 degrees.  Stopped by the University track to run a couple of laps along the run, and to find a water fountain.  Other than being quite warm, it was a good run.
