I got in a very fun, solid 20 miler today with Amy & Elyssa. We had to contend with some strong winds, the fun of crossing 5 bridges and a lot of NYC-style frogger but we nailed it. Our journey started by running East along Central Park South up & over the Queensboro Bridge (bridge #1 & mile 15 of the NYCM) then south through Queens to the Pulaski Bridge (bridge #2 & HM mark of the NYCM) into Brooklyn. Through Greenpoint and Williamsburg and then back into Manhattan over the Williamsburg Bridge (bridge #3), south through Chinatown and once more back in Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge (bridge #4). Continued the route of our normal Friday bridges run into downtown Brooklyn edging Brooklyn Heights and over the Brooklyn Bridge (bridge #5) back into Manhattan where we backtracked a bit to get down to the water's edge at the Seaport on the path that would eventually wrap around Battery Park and up the West Side. There was a nice breeze for most of the run and strong wind gusts the entire time, especially the last 8 miles up the West Side but what a great feeling run and what awesome company in E and A!!! Body didn't ache much either, a little barking from my right heel but a quick stretch break did the trick. Very happy!</p>

as i was reading this, i found myself reading faster and faster. i thought there was going to be a "PHEW" at the end of it. sounds like a busy, but tremendous run.</p>
<p>i must have missed something...what are you training for?<br>
</p>
<p>go get 'em <strong>KP</strong>! hope the 2nd leg of X legs goes well for you. is that the making of a maniac?</p>
<p>anyone else getting after a race this weekend?</p>
<p><strong>RIL</strong>, how'd the 5k go?</p>
<p><strong>baggs</strong>, how you pheelin'?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>just back from 12.5+ breezy but awesome miles. i'm feeling very clyde-ish but moved along @ 8:13mpm pace w/out too much trouble. i ended up stopping ~ mile 3.5ish to chat w/a local who was out for a little walk along the road (i saw him come out of his driveway).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and, 35 minutes later...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>whoops. nice guy (~67 years old). funny how many connections an old timer (him) and an almost old-timer (me) have in common growing up in a ~rural~ setting. definitely a good connection if i want to try some new grounds in an attempt to fill my freezer w/fresh 'produce'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i'm thinking of testing the waters w/dw to see if she wants to make a road trip to philly for a little getaway and some marathon voyeur-ing. she likes philly. so do i. <strong>solar</strong>, <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>maria</strong></span>, i know you'll be around, right? anyone else? <strong>theia</strong>, <strong>goV</strong>? <strong>heather</strong>? <strong>brandy</strong>, are you coming out east? where the hell is <strong>scratch</strong>? is <strong>LL</strong> running?</p>
<p>a hotel might be tough though...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>i smell...time for a shower and a margaritas.</p>
<p>cheers</p>
