Today is National Running Day so even though I was feeling a little sluggish, I laced up the sneakers met up with some of my favorite running gals and headed to Central Park. I am incredibly fortunate to call Central Park my training ground. Its beauty in all the seasons is stunning. The views NEVER get old and I promise to never take the fact that I can run here for granted. Today, I will share some pics with you that I took during our running route. We ran at a very leisurely pace on this hot and humid day, we allotted time for pictures, water breaks and even headed over to the New York Road Runners Club to pick up our National Running Day bibs and bandanas. It was perfect. I feel so very fortunate to be able to run with a group of fabulous women on one of the best running courses in the world. I run to be healthy, strong, fierce, the beast mom, for my sanity, to spend time with my friends, for coffee time afterwards and of course, for cupcakes 😉 Happy Wednesday everyone and Happy Running!!!
It's Always An Adventure 
Love this! I’ll be in New York all summer. Know of any great races happening or any run clubs that meet early in the morning!?
There are some great races happening this summer- got to the NYRR site- nyrr.org and they are listed there. Many of the local athletic stores have great free early morning run groups- Lululemon, New York Running Company, Jack Rabbit Sports, Super Runners Shop, Nike- find one of the store locations close to where you are staying and they should be able to hook you up. Good luck and have fun!!!
Thanks!!
Also, NYRR and NY Road Runners will also have run groups =)
Hi Sandra,
If anyone is looking for a fun, free race to get involved with, check out the EmblemHealth AnyK! On July 13th, New Yorkers of all ages and fitness levels will be participating in a choose-your-own distance walk / run in the parks of NYC. Unlike other races that focus on getting to the finish line first, the AnyK celebrates the beginning of the journey to fitness. Registration is free and you can participate anywhere! Plus, all registrants will be entered into a drawing for suite tickets to a Nets game 🙂
To learn more and register, visit http://smallsteps.emblemhealth.com/anyk. It’ll be a great way to get outside, enjoy the summer sunshine and promote healthy living!
