Running in Central Park

I've been in NY the last couple of days on business. This morning I got up early and took a run through Central Park as I continue on my quest for my "Fall Get Healthy Plan". Some random thoughts I had while running;

- What a perfect day, sun shining, low humidity, beautiful!

- Gorgeous park, the city planners had amazing foresight in planning to dedicate this much space on a small island.

- Man. there's a lot of people that run early in NY. And most all of them are in great shape.

- Yowsa!

- 5 Miles is a long way to run, but it's so beautiful outside I forget all about how long it takes

- All this in the middle of the craziness of Manhattan. Unbelievable.

- The pavement is hard, it's starting to get hot, my legs are hurting, I need new running shoes (mine are 3 years old although they don't have a ton of miles on them)

- ah, done.
