I had planned today to be a very productive day, but some how the entire day slipped away from me. I had been lazy all day, and come 8 pm I was now upset that I had wasted so much time. I decided if nothing else, at least I can get a run in. Once I got moving I was able to catch the end of the sunset and listened to my favorite musical as a ran. Rather quickly my attitude had been adjusted and I was no longer feeling down. Exercise, seeing NYC, and good music may not add up to the productive day I had hoped for, but at least I was able to end it on a good note.
My GPS hasn't been working the past few times I've been out, but after tonight's run, I called tech support and got it fixed. The majority of Manhattan is relatively flat. Today's run was the opposite, I was running up and down the same steep hill.
Saturday Night in Harlem is like a huge block party. Usually at this time I'm working or at a Broadway show. It was fun to see things from a different angle. Like I mentioned before, people had their lawn chairs out on the sidewalk and were chatting the night away. Some had food and snacks for the entire group. I ran past a baseball game in the streets, just like my family plays wiffle ball in the yard. I ran right through a sidewalk basketball game. And as you know from the previous post, I smiled and chuckled each time I ran past another active fire hydrant. At 9 pm the kids were still splashing around.
