Beautiful morning for long run in New York.......straight up 5th Ave past the Empire State Building, Rockefella Centre, Trump Tower, too early for breakfast @ Tiffany's, the Guggenheim Museum to the top of Central Park. We headed back through Central Park up and down inclines, through wooded areas, over bridges, around lakes and past the zoo, knocking out 90 minutes of running. Having a rest day from running certainly gave some freshness to the legs. The city was abuzz early with the start of a work week....the heartbeat is one of the reasons I love this city......it really is the city that never sleeps.
A highlight of today was heading over to Queens to see 5 Pointz-not a museum or gallery, 5 Pointz is a living collage of graffiti art covering a converted warehouse full of artist studios. The art of famous and novice graffiti artists covers the building's facade, all done with the encouragement of the building's owner. It's a well-known sight from the elevated 7 subway, which runs behind 5 Pointz.
Enjoyed a glass of champagne at Union Square, perched on bar stools overlooking the passing parade.......people watching with all it's colour and movement is the best! Hang on, almost forgot that we had pizza!
Is the last night in NY tonight......heading to LA early in the morning......new sights, new
smells, new running tracks!
