Skipped my run this morning for a couple of silly reasons, mostly because I (apparently) mishandled some poison ivy at my house in NJ on Saturday and my right leg and wrist are blotchy and very itchy. Was afraid if I ran in the morning and sweated on it too much, I'd be miserable the rest of the day. Turns out I was miserable all day anyway, so figured why not go for a run with the extra time I had before my 9pm softball game.

Softball is at 54th St and 11th Ave, right next to Hudson River Greenway. Was there by 7:45 so perfect time for a 4 mile run. Started at 54th and headed north for about 2 miles, then back. Could feel a little soreness from long run on Saturday, but all in all, just fine. Actually, I had that great 'autopilot' feeling I get when things are really well, and knocking out 9:30 miles without trying to hard. That is a great sign in my training.

Anyway, nice run in the mostly darkness over on the west side. Some of the spots under the highway between 59th and 72nd really are in the deep darkness. Pretty views of GW Bridge and NJ side of the river.

Hoping to get 2 more runs in before race on Sunday.
