1. So I’ve never been big into running. In fact I’ve hated it for most of my life and focus on other activities. Since @angrywayne’s decided to run the marathon, I thought I’d tag along a bit to see what this running thing is all about.  So to fool myself and to stay interested, I’ve decided to use running as way to explore New York. I ran the Central Park loop last week and it was so magical - seeing the Boat House, the Met, and the Guggenheim flash by. It reminded me, wow, I am so grateful and lucky that I have the opportunity to do something like this, and I should take advantage of it more often. (I’m trying to stamp out the cynical “been there, done that” New Yorker mode in me.) There are so many places that I haven’t been yet! Like the Old Croton Aqueduct! And the Palisades! And Jacob Riis Park/Fort Tilden! Who’s with me?
