Ran in NY today.  I ran from our hotel up to Central Park and then ran the big loop.  It ended up being a little farther than I had expected.  I was excited to get out running this afternoon and started out to fast and the the heat and humidity got to me about mile 4.  I stopped, stretched and walked for a couple of minutes and then returned to running.  It was much more hilly than I had expected but I passed more peopled than I was passed by.  I finished what I thought would be my run at 6.3 but then and started to walk back to the hotel and then realized how long it would take and so I ended up running back.  I probably had a total of .5 miles of the walking and did not include those in my running miles.  

We arrived in NYC on Saturday morning and check into our hotel and then went to Ground Zero and then to the Mets game. Yesterday, we rode the bus up to Boston and went to see the Red Sox play at Fenway.  That was amazing!   Tonight my husband is at the home run derby and I am sitting at the hotel working.  Not sure what tomorrow will bring but sometimes those are the best vacations.

Jody, awesome, central park and Fenway. Best question, what are the hot dogs called at Fenway? and are they good? The cubs: red hots, Oakland As: Collsal dogs. I am going to Chicago for a few days next month, hope to see a cubs or whitesox game.

Stay Kool, take me out to the ball game, without Harry Carry, B of BS Rools out

Brent -

They are Fenway Franks - and they are very, very good! Go see the Cubs! Not a better team in baseball right now! And how many people can say they saw the Cubs when they were the best team in baseball!
