City Park again

March 21, 2013 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 50s

Comments:
Got out early for a long run. My original thought was to simply be dropped off 20mi out from Gulfport ms, and run the rest of the way, but those runs invariably suck. We had time, so I drive back to City Park.

The idea was to do four laps but it didn't happen. Another "no carb"/no breakfast run. Legs felt ok but the energy was down, and by lap three I was breathing really shallow. Ugh. So I cut it at three laps and ran the last 2.5k uptempo.

The good news was that lap turned out to be 5.25 laps, which means my pace was a lot more respectible:

Lap 1: 37:00
Lap 2: 35:00
Lap 3: 33:45

Felt OK, initially post-run but then the allergies soared: tons of sneezing, itchy eyes, gut rot, and fatigue. SHEESH. I think this is why I felt short of breath in the last lap. And maybe while I felt like shit, overall.

Post-run: walked around the French Quarter some more, and ate some more good cajun seafood, then drove to Gulfport. Nice in NO, then became overcast in MS.
