This weekend was the first weekend of Summer Streets, an event sponsored by NYC Dot where Park Avenue/4th Ave/Lafayette Street is closed from Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge and runners, walkers and bikers can take to the streets. It was awesome - there were swimming pools set up near Grand Central, bands playing along Park Ave, and all sorts of activities along the way. My long run was 12 miles, which meant that I ran from the Brooklyn Bridge to 72nd Street and then over to Central Park up to 91st St. and back. There was so many new sights to see that the run flew by, and before I knew it I was done. By far the coolest part was running up Park Ave to Grand Central, then through the tunnel to the other side.
In other news, last week was the first week in awhile that I actually did all my scheduled runs. The new workout schedule is a success! This week is another step-back week (thank goodness), so here's the schedule, my 6th official week of marathon training (of 18 weeks total...yikes!):
Monday: 3 miles
Tuesday: 5 miles
Wednesday: 3 miles
Thursday: Spin
Friday: 6 miles
Saturday: 9 miles
Sunday: Rest
Total: 26 miles
