Going for walks in the Park or running through my neighborhood has been delightful. It's so nice to clear my mind and take in the sights around the Upper East Side. Usually consisting of a lot of fancy dogs, Nannies and baby strollers, yellow cabs everywhere, and the occasional doorman who always smiles as a jog by.
Running in the City is different than running in the country. I used to run Country Club road back home. If you're not familiar with it, it's long and the same scenery the entire way (pavement and pine trees). Of course, nature is more than beautiful but sometimes not so motivating to keep a steady pace. Well, in NYC it's another story. It's all about pace!!!
1) I'm not the only runner, so you have to keep moving...
2) The city streets feel like a video game, it's a mission to leave and make it back home. I love that feeling, it makes you want to keep going!!
3) Stopping by the grocery to get milk on the way home from a run is so convenient, everything is so close together!

highlight of the day: getting a new project at work. I'm working with our pro-bono client, The New York Center for Children... advocacy PR may be an option!!
