Westside Running Path

My friend DM, who is training for the Avon Walk for the Cure, takes a camera with her on her long training walks. She takes great pictures of flowers, signs, fun things she sees along the way. Yesterday, I wished I had a camera with me.

I did a long run (shorter than what I should have done, but still got mileage) that mainly consisted for running down the westside of Manhattan.

I've done this before during the New York City half marathons, but I ran on the Westside highway, not the path. So, it was an eye-opening experience for me. I got to see all the piers that jut into the Hudson and that are made for sitting and staring out. There were great little sculptures and seating areas all throughout. And as I approached lower Manhattan, I had great views of City Hall, the new Frank Gehry building, and the Freedom Tower. I wished I had a camera with me to take pictures of it all!

Next week, when I actually run longer, I will try and bring a camera with me. Or maybe I'll just walk one day for the fun of it!
