Ran a little bit in either direction from the apartment. Made it a little past the 59th Street Bridge (Mile 16 of the NYC Marathon. Great memories of coming onto 1st Avenue) then turned around and did a little more downstream.

East River Path - 41+

Ran from the apartment over a bridge and to the Ichan Stadium at Randall Island and back. Kind of a sketchy area for a track stadium, especially one that held an IAAF meet.

Run to Axiom + treadmill - 55:00

Dropped my car off to be serviced, and ran to the gym where I did about 45 minutes on the treadmill. Mostly it was an easy jog with the incline up a bit, but I did some pickups at MP with the incline down the last 15 minutes.
