A Post About Running Twenty Miles On Saturday Morning
The first few blocks of a twenty-mile run are populated by disbelief.
“What the hell are we thinking?” gives way to, “If this creaky, old ankle feels sore already, how’s it going to feel in three hours?”
Such was the case as Abbi and I ran through the shadows of the gargantuan Time Warner Center and into the early-morning light of Central Park Saturday morning.
“At the minimum,” I thought, “We’ll see a lot of New York.”
Which, in our 3:35:36 New York City Marathon training run (pausing frequently to stretch, hydrate, gel and snap photos), we sure did.
From 57th Street, we ran northeast through Columbus Circle into Central Park. In the park, we ran north along the Bridal Path, the east across the top of the Great Lawn where we turned south and began our long, slow descent. We exited the park at 72d Street, then cruised east to First Avenue where we remained until 34th Street. There we jogged along the East River to Chinatown where we crossed the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn. A few blocks later, we returned westward on the Brooklyn Bridge, then ran along Broadway to the Battery. From the southern-most tip of Manhattan, through the World Financial Center (where we jogged past Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos), we returned north along the Hudson River.
It was a beautiful, cloudless, blazing-blue morning. And though we covered a great distance, we felt great, and had a great time. Afterwards, we devoured ham, egg and cheese sandwiches and gulped Gatorade as we lounged on the floor elevating our feet.
Oddly enough, my creaky, old ankle didn’t hurt a bit.

You two are amazing!

Looks like a great run. On a picturesque day like yesterday, nothing better than taking awesome pictures!

Can’t imagine running 20 miles at all! You and Abbi are amazing! I do have to ask though, the last photo, of the brick building that says “Lackawanna” — where is that?
I’m a native of Lackawanna County, PA and was a bit shocked when I saw that in the pic!

You’re good to go now! As always, I’ll be looking online for your times.
:)
Congrats you two.

I took it for you! It’s an old coal depot in New Jersey as seen from Midtown West. There’s a ton of remanence on the west side of the days when NYC’s growth was contingent on Pennsylvania coal: gantry cranes, rail lines, and this place. I ‘vealways liked that it said Lackawanna, and that beautiful, red-brick tower overhead. :)

Love this post. Great route, I drove by most of those spots this weekend. Thought of you and Abbi when I was on the Brooklyn Bridge. Sounds like you guys are ready for the marathon….I’ll be reading!

or not… Notice the Erie on top of the Lackawanna? It’s the logo of the train line (running through Lackawanna County natch)
What you are looking at is the train station in Hoboken (currently being restored), not a coal depot.

Какой то запах порока, еле заметный, который трудно описать, но он совершенно явно присутствовал в этом помещении.Светка раздвинула половые губки.Николай так как был один был самым раскрепощенным и постоянно отпускал шуточки по поводу этой ситуации над которыми мы все смеялись.Она стала вспоминать прожитые с мужем годы.Потом он незаметно уснул, морфей невидимой рукой погрузил его в сон.Мой красавец позвала новая хозяйка и, задрав юбку, начала стягивать колготки и трусики.Она растерла мою сперму по своим набухшим грудям.

Оказалось, что среди детей, остававшихся в классе на второй и третий год по нескольку раз, заболеваемость много выше по сравнению с детьми, остававшимися на второй год за время своего обучения лишь один раз; вместе с этим оказалось, что среди второгодников рецидивистов больше детей.Отсюда возникла предложенная эр лихом терминология – оксифилия, базофилия и нсйтрофилия.Механическое задушение аспирация рвотных масс, острый отек гортани и т.Это нисколько не умаляет роль первопроходцев.Известно, что анаэробы могут быть приучены к свободному кислороду, как и обратно.Натягиванием петли можно заставить кровь течь через канюлю.Единственное в настоящее время руководство на рус.
