Run for Central Park

I didn't expect to feel that great this race as I only ran once all week and my lower back was sore from lifting the day before.  After the second mile of the four mile race I got a side cramp (haven't had that for a long long time) and I think it was partially due to my back being so stiff.  I was running right around a 6 min per mile pace but slowed down the last mile and a half with the side cramp and stiff back bothering me.  I can also feel I'm losing endurance only running one or two days a week the last 3 weeks now, here is the RESULTS.

NYRR Naples New York Park to Park (Dash and Splash)


I ran in the NYRR Naples Dash and Splash, 10K race, which included a swim in the big Central Park swimming pool after the race.  When I got to the pool (as early as I could) I was one of only 3 people there, and left before the rush of people to get home and get back to studying for the boards. I didn't plan on running too hard as I only slept 2 hours the night before, had only ran once this week, and it was pretty hot in the morning.  I finished without falling asleep, felt fine afterwards, and had fun so I can't complain about the result.

NJ Long Path

A long hot run through the rough trail that is the NJ Long Path.  I went to the Greenbrook Sanctuary before turning around as I wanted to make it a 15 mile run.  There are a few areas that the terrain makes running fast impossible.  I took along my camera phone (Motorola Razr) and got some shots of the wildlife and scenery.




Two of the many (about 8) deer I saw along the way.  One of the deer was startled by me and ran into a big metal fence and fell right in front of me.  It then scrambled back to its feet and ran the other way.



This is the view at the end of my journey north on the long path before turning back, at the Greenbrook Sanctuary entrance by the Lost Brook Preserve.

Views from the cliffs...


I saw some strange large animals running up through woods along the path in front of me and I gave chase.  Turns out they were turkeys and I got really close to them and took a picture before they ran into the thicker part of the woods.
