Winter in New York

Traveling to New York meant two things for me. First and most importantly, it was a chance to spend time with my daughter who lives there. Secondly, it was a chance to meet and run with the members of the Hellgate Running Club of Astoria, New York. With temperatures in the 30 to 40's, I was a little leary about wearing my favorite long running shorts instead of sweats, but was comfortable running the mile or so to Astoria Park and the track there to meet everybody. Introductions made, 3 other men and I ran through Astoria, Queens and onto Roosevelt Island. With beautiful views of Manhatten and the park itself, it was a really nice run. Shaking very cold hands afterward, I ran back to the apartment, happy and tired after a really nice. What's the point of all of this? That travel can be combined with running, all you need is desire, a daughter that likes to sleep in and directions from mapquest. Good luck!
