The extra 20° in temp added 0:09/mi, but got a solid 20 in today. It took so long to learn to chill out on the early miles, but now that I've gotten it down it makes for a much more enjoyable run.

18 miler in Central Park today. Love the tune ups with the NYRR. Really helps prep for race day nutrition and conditions.
Bay Ridge to the Rockaways with @NikeNYC today. Got an easy 16 in and met some cool people training for marathons from Brooklyn to Berlin. Very fun stuff.
6 miles at my marathon pace this morning. Mile 5 was a big hill, so actually the most proud of that one.
I think my biggest issue to date has been coming out of the gate far too hot. Did 10k this morning that kicks off with the first 2 miles uphill, forcing myself to start off slow. Made for a much stronger finish, and hit my stride at the right time. That 5th mile is far too fast (8:15 6th) and the result of a downhill back.
AM vibes over the Manhattan Bridge on a (less than successful) progression run.
Part of the new training program is not just about training better, but learning why certain days are scheduled the way they are. Tonight was a one mile warm up, followed by more intense miles, and then a cool down. The overall objective is to lower your ceiling time, and raise your floor. Easy miles feel even easier after the intense ones. If by the end of my program I can make my floor ~8:10, I'll have a great opportunity to hit a PR.
Touch of fog yesterday.
