16 on a Saturday

Yup, just another Saturday for me, getting up at 5:30am to run 16 miles around the island of Manhattan. Checked the weather the night before and was psyched to see that it was going to be high 60s!!!!! What? Cool weather? I love it. For all of you non-New Yorkers, it went from freezing cold, raining to hot, hot, hot as we moved from winter to summer.



Jess and I started at Borough Hall and ran over the BK Bridge, down around South Street Seaport, passing by a few people just walking home from their Friday night out, to the West Side Highway. I personally love the WSH but it's not Jess' favorite place. We ran up to 45th St (where the Intrepid is docked) and then over to Park to run down Summer Streets.



a word about Jess - love her and have known her since my Ham Tech (hamilton college) but she's a good 3 inches taller and, thus, a few steps ahead of me usually so I have to really pick it up to keep pace.

Needless to say, she was killing me this am! We did well and finished the 16 miles in a respectable 2 hr 16 mins. Definitely couldn't run anymore and loved the walk breaks (which I'm a HUGE fan of!)

Went to yoga at work - lululemon Brooklyn (www.lululemon.com/brooklyn). Sasha taught and it was perfect - a nice flow class that opened my hip flexors and hamstrings.

Can't wait for a nap at 4pm when i'm off work! And a bagel :)
