RUN: 6.4 Miles (Long Run)

Course: 34th Avenue Woodside to Corona Out-and-Back

I was tempted to take the subway into Manhattan to do my long run in Central Park, but then I thought it might be kind of silly to travel over an hour round trip just to run for an hour.  Maybe when I’m up to longer long runs.

I noted that my pace has increased while maintaining a given heart rate (80% of my max in this case), which is a sure sign that my cardio fitness is improving.  Seeing improvement is definitely helping to keep me motivated.
