Wow!  It is hot and humid.  Worse than any day down in Miami last week.  Pretty suffocating and miserable.  I was up late last night walking around the City with Britt,  We walked up 5th Ave, through the Park and then back on Broadway.  Just so she could get her directions down since she is sightseeing alone today while I work.

I woke up at 4:50 so I could get an early start, out the door at 5:05, ran the 7 mile long inner park loop and then back to the hotel to pick up Britt.  7.5 in 55:22  7:22 avg pace.   Perfect timing Britt had just arrived in the hotel lobby, I told her it was very hot and she wasn't sure she could go the planned 6 miles.  We started out slow,  she kept wanting to speed up but I told her to pace herself so we could make the whole reservoir loop.  I tried to keep us at around 8:30 pace, she kept getting mad that we were getting passed by people so I'd go faster and start to drop her, so then I'd slow down.  I'm not exactly sure what she wanted, she's not a great partner runner, plus she listens to music the whole time so anytime I tried to talk to her she can't hear me anyway.  Still had a good time, we made it around the reservoir without stopping, 4 miles, then she decided she needed to walk a bit.  I went off ahead and ran a little over 1/2 a mile and then back to meet her to add a bit and keep from walking.  After I caught back to her she decided she was able to run the rest of the way back to the hotel.

Good, run.  I was very excited to share my Central Park route with Britt.  I'm not so sure she enjoyed it so much, it really was quite a miserably muggy day for running.

So funny, I think running with spouse can definitely be a challenge cause you're not afraid to really tell them how your feeling and what you're thinking of them. Ha ha!! Nice run in NY!!!
