Went out the morning after the firehouse. Mostly cloudy skies, reasonable temperatures, looked good.
Except for the humidity. Positively deadly.
Made about two miles in Gregg Park before I had to work a two-minute break into it. Also, since the first loop took me north-to-south along the water right into the wind, which was pretty stiff, I decided to run the reverse for the second loop. A great idea until the sun came out, which was a little warm in the front, while I was getting a good tailwind. I also found out that the hill on the 48th Street side is steeper than the 37th Street end. I was taking another short break at the top of the hill when I ran into my FD colleague Jimmy the Red Sox Fan/eight-time marathoner, who was taking a nice easy run around the park while waiting for a local repair shop to open so he could retrieve his car. He turned around and ran with me the rest of my fourth mile. His presence definitely made it easier to finish what was becoming a really slow run.
Walked around a bit after the run, and encountered another fellow runner who was training for a marathon in November. Called herself a Jeff Galloway girl.
The run details.
