Today was my first "long" run since I raced last weekend and really the first day that my legs felt pretty fresh again. I was supposed to do a trail run today put I thought that running in the snow again might be frustrating so I stuck to the roads around Hoboken and the Weehawken waterfront. I lost my IPod Shuffle and have been running in silence for weeks but I finally loaded up my Nano today and enjoyed getting some tunes going. It would have been a successful day if I didn't totally wipe out and tweak my neck pretty bad.
Now I'm a little bit notorious for wiping out while running. I fell several times during the North Face race last year, and I fall on training runs on the trail more regularly than most. So I ended my run at the grocery store today and as I was WALKING home with my groceries, I slipped on some black ice and ate it. Somehow I ran close to four miles on icy and snowy sidewalks without so much as slipping and then managed to be lying on the sidewalk during my three block walk back from the grocery store.
On a positive note, I found this pace calculator: http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/pace-calculator
