About the Run: This run came after my first ride to Nyack, New York of 2010. During my ride I concentrated on keeping my cadence high and spinning through any hills rather than “pushing a big gear”. After arriving home from my ride, I uploaded my Garmin data and then headed out for my run.

I expected my legs to be far more fatigued than they actually were. When I headed out the door, to be honest my legs were a bit numb to anything. Not sore, not tired, just kind of numb. I found though, that I was very bouncy and lively in my stride and I was pleasantly surprised by that! Upon getting home and uploading my data, I discovered that I had held down an average pace of 6:57 per mile! Granted, it was a short run, but a successful one nonetheless.
