Today is Long Run Day. On the schedule 5-6 Miles.
I had to break it up into two runs that were very close together. I signed up for a 5k (3.2 miles) race about a month ago that was postponed until this morning. It took place at Shea Stadium. AVM dropped me off around 8am. I started in the parking lot, ran to the Worlds Fair Sphere, then back to the Parking lot where we then entered the Stadium via Center Field, around the edge of the Stadium on the dirt track and finished near Home Plate where a bunch of handicapped children were on display. The race was part of a fundraising effort for St. Mary's Hospital. I felt pretty good about my time 26:13 - it gave me an 8:26 pace. I knew I had another 3 miles to run after the race, so I didn't want to destroy myself.
Then I grabbed some water and walked out of the parking lot, and ran home. Yep thats right! I live probably about 4+ miles away, so I did not run the entire way, I walked the last 1/4 or so of a mile. Shea Stadium is attached to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, so I ran through the park, then onto a local road towards home. It was fun. I felt pretty strong the entire time. My run home was 3.7 miles, probably more than I should have done. Below are my Nike + fun time imbeds!
