While staying in NYC I've been staying with a couple girls in Greenwich Village. It's a neat area to walk around, as is most of Manhattan. While in the city I thought it would be cool to run in Central Park. Thursday was my free day. The weather was a bit overcast which helped lower the temp. I looked at a map and started to work out where I'd go. The park is about 3 miles away so I decided to take the subway up to 96th St near the upper west side of the park. I went down the west side switching back and forth between a gravel trail and a bike path. I passed a lake and crossed some bridges. It's amazing how remote it feels until you look up and see buildings in the background.
I exited the park on Central Park South and 7th Ave. I stayed on 7th most of the run back. It goes right through Times Square and near Broadway. It was a great run and I loved seeing the city that way. The only downfall of a city run is having to stop at so many traffic lights. I'm not the kind of runner who keeps running in place, they look so funny. I used the time to stretch.
Saturday night I'm staying in Brooklyn Heights. My goal is to run the Brooklyn Bridge Sunday morning.
I took some photos of my run but will have to post them later. Stay tuned...
