Went to Nyack Beach with Paul Zac and Tom after we all got out of work. On the way there, a torrential thunderstorm came down but by the time we got there it was passing. The good news is we saw the end of a rainbow right on the Hudson (photo evidence available). The bad news is this made for some incredibly humid conditions. We took the first mile, which is flat, out in 6:34 and I knew this felt too fast considering the conditions and the way I was feeling. The first 4 miles out were pretty tough because it felt like the trees surrounding the trail trapped in the humidity with no relief. We turned around at 4 and the way back was bad as well. I was just pretty tired overall and my quads were burning on the rolling hills. Glad I finished up the run though. The pace on the way out was about 6:45 and the pace on the way back was about 7 flat
