Memorial Day Weekend Runs at Fire Island
Saturday
3.65 Miles
43:11 Time
11:50 Pace
Sunday
3.19 Miles
56:14 Time
17:38 Pace
I went down to Fire Island with a group of 12 people and there were some runners in the group. On Saturday I ran with Joe. He apparently ran track in HS. He found a route from Mapquest or whatever app he has on his cell. I didn't know the area, so I just stayed behind and let him lead the way and I took the two pictures you see below.
Sunday I ran with Nicole who is recovering from an injury and wanted to take it easy. Her ankle was bothering her so we went extra careful. I knew the area more so went a simple route to Ocean Beach and had some breakfast at Rachel's. I felt the trip was a special occasion so I decided to have a mimosa. I didn't realize this until I logged the miles at home but I started the day out with 1498.88 miles and finished 1502.07 miles. Another reason to celebrate. Later in the day we also did some yoga, which is her specialty.
Monday was suppose to be me, Debbie, Tom and possibly Mel going on a run but 3 nights of little sleep adds up and no one wanted to run. I took a rest day Monday instead of going alone. Tom lives near me so we might run together at some point.

8.2 Mile Hill Run
8.2 Miles
1:27:37 Time
10:41 Pace
A little hot and humid despite starting at 8 AM. I haven't done this route in like a month and I listened to REM - Out of Time, which I haven't heard in years...I used to listen to that album all the time. Some minor pains at time but overall felt good.

3.7 Mile Run with Erin
3.7 Miles
41 Minutes
11:05 Pace
My hip was feeling much better. I ran with Erin who I met via the local Meetup.com running group. She is also doing the NYC Marathon so we are staring to build our base for training. Like me, she doesn't know she will train for it yet, but unlike me she says she isn't a fan of hills...hopefully I can change that. Great weather, great conversation and nice views from running at the beach. Apparently she ran a half last year with no Gels, strictly water and apparently not much water. Don't know how she did it.

Spicy Tempeh Chili
A little less spicy than the quinoa chili but a bit "meatier" with the tempeh. I actually used two jalapenos. Overall a decent meal. It does well as leftovers as well, I actually made it last night and had some more for dinner tonight.

2.66 Mile Run
2.66 Miles
26:36 Time
10:00 Pace
Ouch...At first my hip was bothering me and it was borderline painful. I kept going and it did get better, but it still wasn't a pleasant run. I will take off Wednesday and see how it goes Thursday.

5.3 Mile Running Store Group Run
5.3 Miles
51:55 Time
9:48 Pace
Respectable, though not impressive/time pace. Felt like I was pushing myself atleast. The last mile (up the hill) was my best mile, with a 9:36 pace. Thanks to the new employee, Isabelle, for pushing me at the end (well most of time I struggled to run at her pace) and telling me quinoa is pronounced "keen wah" and not "key own ah" At any rate, I will be happier when I am running more, as opposed to stressing about pace. I might not even reach 100 miles this month.
