It certainly made a change to spend a few days running in the relative cold as opposed to sweating. It is amazing how much easier it is when you don't have to worry so much about breathing or hydration.
So having done my long run Thursday, I actually skipped the Friday 4 miler, a rarity for me. My Sunday 8 miler turned into 9, with my wife joining me for the first half - much better than running alone. With only a small incline and a relatively flat 2 mile loop, the miles went by easy and a 9 minute pace was effortless.
After eating our way through Rosh Hashanah, Debbie and I did a 5 mile run Wednesday before heading to the airport. Driving rain and freezing cold was compounded by a bus splashing us from head to toe! Freezing cold AND soaking wet. Nice.
So the usual first night home involved me being wide awake from 3.30. Eventually I went out at 5am and did a nice 8 miles in the park, 9 min pace and all is well again.
Another 5 tomorrow, then the ING New York City Marathon Tune-Up 18M in Central Park Sunday. Another new long distance for me.....
