Oct 16: 8 mile run - Staten Island Boardwalk

Week 2 - Mesocycle 1 - Friday 10/7

This was a morning run on a completely raw, rainy morning. Temp was 40F with a fierce north wind. The course is 2 loops out and back along Fr. Capodanno and the boardwalk, essentially the Staten Island Advance Memorial Day Run course. Tailwind out, fierce head wind going back. A great character builder. ;-)

All joking aside, this turned out to be a very strong run as I thoroughly enjoyed the second loop. Total time for the run is 1:14:02.

More rain tomorrow and Sunday. Sunday I'm supposed to hike at Bear Mountain with my brothers. We'll be going to the Oktoberfest there afterwards. I'll be ready to go rain or shine, but it depends on whether my brothers would back out or not (I'll call them wimps if they do!). If the hike is cancelled, I'll be running to make up for the hike.
