Last day in Paradise. I fly out to New York this afternoon so I wanted to get one last long run along the beach in. No more barefoot running though, that gave me bad blisters. I wanted it to be cool this morning from the rain storms yesterday, no such luck, all the rain storm did was make it very very humid. The humidity really took it out of me today, but that was OK I just wanted a slow longer run anyway. Ran all the way to the end of the trail, which is just over 4.5 miles so I had to run up along the boat docks for another 1/2 mile to get to an even 5, turned around and decided maybe running on the beach was at least a little cooler from the breeze, which it was but the sand makes it much slower running. So I ran in the sand for about 1 mile and then went back to the trail and took a drink at the park. All my beach and drink detours added .15 miles to the run. 10.15 miles in 1:19:45 7:52 pace. I was keeping it pretty steady at 8:00 the entire way but then ran the last mile in 6:30 just cause its fun to run fast past people :). Central Park tomorrow, hope it's cooler there.
