Tonight’s Pre-Rivalry Game Run Through Central Park Brought To You By: Swedish House Mafia Pandora Station. (My dear purple iPod nano has gone to iPod heaven… *tear*)

This was the perfect soundtrack to a run through the wet Central Park Lower Loop. I felt good. In the interest of full disclosure: this was my first run since my run in Tampa with Rob. (Yes. Yes. I knowwww… SLACKER = ME) All things considered, it was a great run. My legs felt good, my time was good (averaged 9:03 min/mi for 3.4 miles) and it felt amazing to get outside after a frigid weekend and a long day indoors. Dailymile told me I have 116 days until the Fifth Third River Bank Run (25k). Better get my butt in gear.  

In other running-related news, I finally purchased a Road ID. I would like to think that I won’t need it, but it’s a huge comfort to know that if (God forbid) I do need it, it’s there. I got the Shoe ID model. If it’s strapped to my laces, it’s impossible to forget. If you’re a runner or cyclist or outdoor adventurer and you don’t have one yet you should consider getting one! They also let you donate a portion of your purchase to one of a handful of charities. Mine went to Team In Training!
