Last night while laying in bed, I was thinking about today’s run. I was supposed to do 6 yesterday, but stupidly went out at 5pm when it was still 92 degrees out. Needless to say, I made it one mile before deciding to turn around, make it 2 and get the rest in today. Laying in bed, I realized I was excited to run, but the idea of hitting the West Side Highway again made me want to stab my eyes out with dull pencils. (#firstworldproblems.)

I don’t mind running through the streets of Manhattan, but I prefer to stick to the trails (on the East or West side or in Central Park), so I don’t have to wait for lights, but sometimes running through the streets and playing photo scavenger hunt with yourself is a fun way to mix it up.

Flatiron building.

Madison Square Park.

Shake Shack!

Union Square Greenmarket

Grand Central.

Bryant Park

All in all, I covered just about 4 miles. My Garmin and I, however, are on non-speaking terms. I mapped this route before I left, and I know it’s right around 4 (like 3.9ish), but he said 4.5 when I got home, which I know is not true.

Who am I kidding? We’ll do a makeup run tomorrow morning.
