Gents, great run tonight. On a whim I left the reservoir track on the East side, and headed uptown on the Park Road to the 102 transverse and came across, cutting along a foot path to return to CPW. So it was slightly longer than my usual 5k Reservoir loop, and I ended the run at the top of a new hill, breathing heavy and wobbly. Light jog home. Feeling pretty good right now. Eating quiche. Aiming to get nine runs in before the 8k on Mar 14, with a little cycling if I can help it. I've finally had it with winter in NYC!
An observation on luggies. I've always wondered why runners spit. Aside from having a distaste for swallowing luggies, which has never bothered me, overly, I observed this evening that spitting on an exhale is easier than holding one's breath for the moment required to swallow. Who knew?
Peace, fellas.

Spit away, spit away!
For whatever reason the body produces excess saliva when working out -- at least mine does. I'm a spitter. And I spit more when eating shot blocks and drinking electrolyte stuff.
nice to see the goal set! nice that you shook up your route -- that can help motivation.
I too grow weary of winter!
Thanks. Yeah, you know the resevoir holds no interest for me anymore. I was bored, and therefore wanted to stop running. As soon as I veered from the ususal thing, I was much more motivated to run.
I just noticed that I've been spelling RESERVOIR incorrectly, in every post about about a reservoir run so far. Huh.
