Yesterday was my ten-miler and it was GREAT. I did a huge loop in Central Park. Last time I had a long run I actually just ran the perimeter of the park. I wasn't sure about all the trails and everything and wanted to get an accurate mileage total. This time I ran around the streets inside the park. It was so much better! Central Park is absolutely beautiful even in the dead of winter.
It did feel like a spring day, though. I was completely overdressed and started shedding clothes in my first mile. It was also really crowded. I think everyone was enjoying the springish weather.
I also felt like it was a good run because I finally got to put some hills in. Along the top of the park and going west there is a HUGE hill that wraps around and around (my favorite kind...jk). I think it is actually called "Great Hill". It reminded me a lot of Erie, going towards the police station.
Also, I had an EXCELLENT new running mix. It helped me get through everything!

I enjoyed reading your list of songs! All good ones.
nice list. what's your stance on marathons disqualifying runners for wearing headphones against race rules? what will you be listening to during the pig?
I can't believe that they disqualified runners in the Minnesota Marathon for wearing headphones! It also seems like a LOT of effort to prove a point (looking through all of the finish photos). I hope they would never do that at the Pig. My plan is to listen to my running mix that I talked about in this blog, plus another running mix I made at the same time. I'm training to both of them, so hopefully I can recall some great moments when I hear the songs during the race!
