Hello! and Team training run recap

Hello!

I will be posting updates along the way to the marathon but wanted to start it off by giving a brief recap of our 2nd team training run in Central Park this past Tuesday. Once a week colleagues, friends and other runners will join me for a team training run.

It sure was a hot one on Tuesday but we had a pretty good turnout and the park was filled with lots of other runners, walkers and cyclists. There was a group of 6 of us that met at 72nd st. and ran an out and back on the bridle path to the ball fields north of the reservoir. We had a colleague that was playing in a softball game so we took a minute to stop and heckle him for a bit before running back down to 72nd st. The total distance ended up being a little over 4 miles.

I had to get a few extra miles in so I left from the office on 27th and ran to the meeting spot on 72nd and ran back afterwards. I ran up Broadway which was a bit of an adventure but made for a very interesting run. It took some dodging and weaving through Times Square but i made it through without having to stop too much. They have "greened out" an entire lane(wider in some spots) all the way from Herald square (34th st.) to Columbus circle( 60th st) that made for a surprisingly pleasant run.

All in all another great team run. Lots of fun and it was great having the group to run with .
