Streets of NYC/ Fall training



Saturday Sal and I went to NYC for the day. We take our bikes up and ride around Manhattan. This is the 3rd or 4th time we have done this (my sixth or seventh) and its always fun. The bike lanes are getting better but the foot traffic and vehicles (not to mention dudes pushing carts, COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS girls texting as they walk, and "bike salmons" make for, for me, fun riding. In fact, Sally who doesn't have much of a wild streak, enjoys it too. Just keep you head on straight and alert and its a lot of fun.
We ate lots of goood food and had fun checking out some stores and speciality food markets.


One of the highlight was checking out a boutique hat shop, Victor Osbourne. They had some good hats, but the greatest of all I bought for Sally (not pictured).




Then yesterday we went to the farm and I ran about 4.5 miles. This was the first run of my fall (almost winter) season.
Today my legs are super sore but i wanted to keep the train rolling so i went and did 20 minutes on the elliptical at work. I rub i high friction setting so it was really tuff. i will work up to 30 mins in a few weeks.
