NYC Half Marathon in 150 Days

The night before I slept for 10 hours and didn’t wake up for my alarm.  Jen had to wake me on her way out the door to work.  Last night I slept for 5 hours an was able to get up and run.  My body is freaking out right now!

On the plus side I realized I have been miscounting my time.  When I was running outside I would start the running app on my phone and go.  At the gym I start the treadmill really slow and then just walk on it while I set up my headphones, water, phone, and then start running.  So all this time I have been about a minute off with my total time because I have been including my setup walking.

Today I set up in a minute and only walked .1 miles, so I just ran to 2.1 miles and subtracted a minute off the total.  My new time was MUCH better.  More like what I was running over the summer.  It also helped that I didn’t use the incline.
