Dropped some LSD this afternoon ...

Once again for those of us with the more experimental college years, I am referring to Long Slow Distance runs with the emphasis on slow. The purpose for this type of training is to build up your base by keeping your body out of the anaerobic training zone and solely in the aerobic zone. Of course for me, the only way I am able to make any distance is on the slow.

So today's workout was planned for two five mile loops in Central Park at a 12 minute pace. I have never run 10 miles before so I was a bit concerned about the distance. But I finished the distance in two hours and did not feel like crap afterwards. So I think I will try for the first of the NY Road Runner half marathon grand prix this year, which happens to be the Manhattan one on January 27.
