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.
Here is the data for the run.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.
