Brick

I got up a little before 6 am this morning and rode in to meet Shaun at the Runners' Station. We met at 6:30 and started riding shortly after. We rode up the west side and went over the GW Bridge. Due to time constraints, we turned around there and headed back south. Shaun split off at 92nd street and I continued south down the west side highway path. I got back to the Runners' Station about 8:15, changed clothes and headed out on the long run with the 26.2 Training Group.

We ran across Chambers and over the Brooklyn Bridge to Tillary St turned around and headed back over the bridge. Back in Manhattan, we went down to the East Side Running Path and went north to the East 6th Street track. We did a quick mile on the track and then ran up to 34th street before turning around and retracing our path. I skipped the second mile on the track in order to get back to the Runners' Station and make sure everything was under control, but I ended up getting in just about 15 miles. I felt strong the entire run and really didn't feel like I had ridden for an hour and a half earlier that morning.

Gotta love a strong brick workout!
