BROOKLYN IS IN DA HOUSE!

Holiday weekend- who cares gotta run!
Rain in the forecast- who cares gotta run!
Cold outside - who cares gotta run!

Ok, it wasn't really that cold out Saturday morning. It was actually very good running weather. Temperatures in the mid 50's and a light mist left over from the rainy evening.

The task today - two loops of Prospect Park - about 6.5 miles. Theres a hill on this route that is just annoying. It has two false starts, little inclines where you think the hill starts but levels off, then your head does this mind trick on you and you think, this hill is not going to be so bad, then it starts. And it doesn't seem to end, because when you get to the middle you can see what looks like the top, but that's only because it curves out of sight and keeps going on its incline.

You know what, I can tell you about it, but I think it best you come experience for yourself. Consider this your open invitation to come run Prospect Park with me.
