Runnin' and Runnin'

A run in NYC today.

First, my route.....it came out to be 3.72 miles (thank you GoogleEarth).

Second, some observations...

-My first mile came in at six and a half minutes. While I'm an optimist, this was a clear sign that my Garmin 405 was having a difficult time acquiring satellites with the buildings.

-Running in the city is very very similar to trail running: some starts/stops, side-to-sides, fast then slow. Nothing at all like my normal runs.

-Central Park is surprisingly hilly. This made me sad thinking about all the level city around it. 

-I thought Central Park did not have vehicle traffic. This is not true.

-It's easier to run here than it is at 6700 feet (ahem, Wyoming).
