According to my MINI, one lap around Bayonne Park's main loop is 1.3 miles. A friend of mine says the main loop is roughly a mile. So either my MINI's OBC is off (way off!), or my friend takes serious short cuts around the park. I will have to see if I can find some official stats regarding the park. Anyway...

After an all time low of eating fast foods all weekend long -- White Castle Friday, Wendy's Saturday and Burger King Sunday -- and recovering from caffeine withdrawal, I hit the gym this afternoon, then drove over to Bayonne Park to do a slow lap.

Felt OK... I forgot to stretch before I hit the pavement.

Treadmill... raining strong outside.

Tough run, I was reaching for my towel shortly after the 1st mile. After struggling all the way to the 5k point, I started finding my 'pace' and the last mile was good ; fast ~6.5mph - 7.0mph and good form.

Went out last night to the Crabhouse in Edgewater and had some beer (Me? I am so not a heavy drinker), and a lot of deep fried -- but delicious -- stuff... and a few cigarettes. Everybody around me was lighting up. What's a guy to do? BTW, I'm the one with the white shirt and tie (du'h).

3 times around Bayonne Park. Never found my pace... felt like I was struggling through the whole run. Took it slow because it was quite humid outside.

A bug got stuck in my eye during the second lap. Wanted to stop by suffered through. I was afraid it was going to wiggle its way between my eye and contact lenses - that would have been painful.
