What a Rush!

Does anyone think it is weird that I decided to run across the Brooklyn Bridge today? The weather was awesome - sunny, partly cloudy and about 65 degrees - perfect running weather! After I took Noble to the park here by my apartment, I thought "I feel good, that was only a short jog - how about a long run into Manhattan today?" It actually wasn't that long into THE CITY...about 35 minutes. The scenery was wonderful going into Manhattan and tons of people to not run into.Right after you cross over the bridge into Manhattan, you are dumped into City Hall, which I was pleasently suprised to see. Also, a neat little park. I bought some Powerade and started jogging back...

Below is the view of the bridge going back into Brooklyn. Geez, what a rush. I can't wait to start getting into my marathon training again. It is so freaking awesome to just step out your door and run and run and run. I look forward to literally running all over Manhattan once a week for my long runs :-) Wonder how far it is to Central Park from my apartment...stay tuned!

Not much has been happening this week, getting into the work swing and enjoying it. I gave a lecture on seizure disorders in dogs/cats on Wednesday evening in Staten Island - then proceeded to stay out until 4am with my boss and people from work. You gotta love New York! I will give lecture after lecture for free food and drinks ! Not to mention getting to go into work late, heehee. I also saw Manhattan boy again this week, so I am starting to get know SoHo pretty well... Oh, AND I learned what NOT to ever do on a Saturday night....attempt to go to Wal-Mart and Target. UGH - it was the worst experience of my life. But, I had to make my monthly trip for necessaties...just will plan on doing that on a weekday from now on. What the hell else do all these people in Long Island have to do on a Saturday night. *UCK! And only in NYC would the *amn Wal-Mart be connected to a mall!!!!!!

Ok, I vented - I am better. Happy Mother's Day too to all my friends and sisters-in-law :-)
