Ahhh, to RUN again~!

My favorite day in Spring is when it's warm enough to run along the river at Hudson River Park. It's only four blocks from my place to the park. The park runs along the west side highway for as far as the eye can see. The renovations are coming along quite nicely. Hard to believe all these piers used to be working piers with ships and loading docks and now it's all condo's and bicycles.

It was a cool 61 today but I put on my shorts and running shoes and gave it a go. It was nice to be outside again after a long ass winter and I really prefer outside runs to the treadmills they have downstairs. I ran up north to the Christopher Street Pier (Pier 45), out and around the pier (always good for the people watching) and then back down here to Tribeca. They are in the process of redoing Piers 25 and 26 nearer to me. Those piers will include mini golf, a skate park, volleyball courts, grassy areas and more. The old Pier 25 used to show outdoor movies on Friday nights during the Summer months. I hope they continue that tradition.
