A good looking run over the Bayonne Bridge!

The second nor'easter in 3 days has swept into the NY Metro area with a stiff north wind, chilly temps, and lots of rain. I guess it was not a bad thing that the hike was cancelled. But hey, the run was on, no matter what.
One thing I learned while training for 20 years in the northeast; if you are clothed right, you can have an excellent run no matter what the elements. I dressed in 2 light layers on top with nice tights on the bottom for the 40 degree raw weather and wind. This was topped off with gloves and a wool hat. I couldn't have asked for a better choice. Going onto the Bayonne Bridge with a stiff north wind buffeted me, but I never really got too cold as I ventured into NJ. It turned into the nicest run of the week, despite the elements.

10 miles over Bayonne Bridge to JFK Blvd in NJ and back.
Time is 1:28:12 (8:49 min/mile pace).
Weather is supposed to clear up for tomorrow. Week 2 done, 2 weeks left in the 1st 4 week mesocycle and I'm looking pretty good getting back into the swing of things.
