Awesome day for a run today. Nice and cool, yet sunny and great. Decided to do 3 loops of the 4 mile loop in the park today. Felt great on first loop, ok on second, and surprisingly good on the third (until near the end). Knowing I can run at least this far is doing a lot to ease my mind about the half marathon on Sept. 3.

Plus, Central Park is quite hilly, so that's got to be a bonus, right? Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Noodle. 13 miles on a flat course would have to be easier than 12 miles on a rolling hill course. Yeah, yeah. That sounds plausible.

Keep getting a blister on the end of my third toe, which I find odd. And my toenails are not pedicure material. Ew...
