5 miles easy, early on the Hudson River path. Tropical humidty. Ran the golf range at Chelsea Piers and down to Battery Park City and back. Took it very easy, most miles at 9:0x, as my legs were feeling zapped from yesterday's awesome long run. Rest day tomorrow.

Ran home from work today. Had taken a few days off to let my legs recover from my long run over the weekend. Was feeling sore in lower legs but all gone today.

Run commute again this evening. I'm so busy at work, so this is a good way to get a run in because the run home takes the same amount of time as the subway home.

Did you know Harlem is awesome? What a beautiful course through a nice park, by amazing old buildings with cool stone work, and some varying topography (my part of Manhattan is totally flat!). Great race!

My plan was to see how close I could get to 7:00 miles; I thought 7:00 was about my 5K pace right now. I knew there was a decent sized hill at the end of mile 1, but it was totally manageable. I finished the first mile in 7 flat. The rest of the course was mostly flat. My second mile was just under 7. The last mile started with a really nice downhill. This allowed me to recover and finish fast. The last mile point one was at about 6:35 pace.

I was really happy to race again. First one since February 2015! On the other hand, my average pace was 6:55 - which was roughly my 2014 half marathon pace. I guess I also have to take into account the weather - 80 F with 58% humidity, sunny, but no wind. Still, lots of room for improvement. And hopefully the improvements will come without more injuries!

Plus 16 miles on bike today. 8 miles to race and 8 miles home; subway service on weekends is terrible!
