The Run

Last night's GTS was the Run Course of the Tri. We started at 59th Street and ran up the West side of the park, over the Harlem Hills, around the park and down the east side. The final stretch was across the 72nd Transverse and back down the West side to 59th. 6.2 miles! This was my first time doing the run and it felt good. Instead of adding in two extra hills, I continued on and just ran the course. I'll do the hills next week- I wanted to know that I could do this course as running is my "weakest link." I also ran with my inhaler for the first time- it made a huge difference. I felt more comfortable having it with me as I ran through the thick, pollen-filled air in the park.
It was a good run- my right knee has a bit of an ache and my back feels stiff- but other than that, I'm ready for another run!
