My last salutes and greets from NYC. Today’s runlog:

Light rain, at or under 40 and starting an hour later than yesterday. Plus a workday Monday.

Interesting at home a mostly small town at 6am many cars seem to aim for me. They blow stop signs, do not look both ways and sort of assume their way through things. I feel a target. Here in NYC I never got the feeling a car truck or taxi had me in his sights on purpose. Never felt threatened. Dodging those walking to work with deadly umbrellas…well.

Yesterday was the South Street seaport, battery, and statue of liberty. Today the piers up the west side. There’s a ship-museum you’ve probably heard of it…the Intrepid. On my way North I didn’t see it. Running back south I can’t imagine how I managed to miss it. Runners concentration or more likely clear headed drifting. It’s pretty big up close. And the signs…

Passed about 10 or 15 runners. Nope no one says hi. Had to dodge horse manure. At home I run horse trails it’s expected. Asphalted NYC? A weird surprise.

A nice 50 minute out and back recovering from yesterday. Tomorrow a.m. we’ll be in Beacon NY. It’s snowing there and im expecting 29 degrees. I am not pleased with what I’m facing for my last 50 minute run before flying home tomorrow night.

Still that’s whats there, thats what Im gonna do.

Enjoy your day
