Running at 10pm in NYC is really pleasant with very few people out

that is during the summers

in the winters it seems that is when most of the dogs get their last walk of the night

its tough to run fast and not tick off one or more of them

luckily our founding fathers, the ones that commissioned Olmstead

had the foresight to create Central Park

which still has dogs off leash at that time

but they don’t seem to care about me huffing and puffing up some hills

(they might pity me at that exact moment)

as I’m so close to myocardial infarction anyway

fartleks with speedwork up hills and catching my breathe downhill

that will cure any thoughts about sitting too much

as I sat on a bus back from AC for 5 hours because two trucks chose to crash into each other inside the Lincoln Tunnel

Although any negative moment can have its silver lining

as it was an interesting sociological observation absorbing all the passenger reactions.

which reminds me of the science of shopping

a fascinating book about our attitudes and perceptions within retail

there probably is a transportation or travel equivalent

I’ve yet to come across

but considering 50,000 books are written each year

the science of peoples reactions to travel probably exists

back to running, I still get a rush when the runners world magazine shows up in the mail

there was an interesting article about length of workout and immune weakening

so I may keep my runs to 75 minutes and shorter during flu/cold seasons

also another article about strengthening the core to help ease repetitive stress injuries

something about proper alignment of the pelvis

allowing stronger, surer foot falls

kinda makes sense, but having difficulty adding these routines to daily workouts, but have to find a way otherwise plateauing will occur.

that beach and ocean was pretty

almost free vacations aren’t bad either
