45 min in the park. What’s keeping me going? I’m crazy about these guys…

Some runs just feel pointless and hard and stale…. Today was one of them.  Only thing keeping me going is this:

I MISS THE HUDSON…. 45 min in Prospect Park… Just not the same

I miss running on the Hudson…..

Manhattan is my favorite place in this whole world.  I tried ignoring that fact when we moved to Brooklyn but deep down I know it’s true…
I miss running on the Husdon…
I miss the energy in the city.  It feels like speed with no side effects.
I miss the strangers who pass by, who I know mostly live in tiny apartments but are fighting to make something work.  A dream, a job, a project, a message, who knows?
I miss running on the Hudson.  there is no place like it….
When I’m old I want to live in Manhattan.  I want to run on on the WSH and stare at the Husdon and I still want to be writing stories fueled and inspired by bumping into incredibly talented people at a local bar.  People no one really  knows right now but will very soon.
The stories I make up about people I pass by every day in NYC are different than the stories I make up about anyone else in the whole world.  They are always better.
People who leave NYC always talk about “space” and “knowing the people in their neighborhood”….
Manhattan is 33.77 Square Miles.  That’s a lot of space.  and it’s filled with buildings and amazing food and grass and sky and a secret around every corner.
I know it took about 6 years to get a smile out of my deli guy in the morning but it’s a well earned smile.  It’s better than any lively greeting I can get on the second day in some suburb…
I miss running on the Hudson……..

Cross training – 60 min on the Elliptical cross country trainer…….

I’m cross training and I don’t want to talk about it.

Hate it when I can’t run.  Stuck at the gym… on a machine that…. well… it’s actually not THAT bad… I just miss the park

I hate this part………………

AMNIO TIME – I hate this part… PLUS I’m Injured… UGH….

Amnio means no moving for 2 days.  No running for about 4-5.

OH and did I mention that I’m INJURED??? I hurt my foot somehow – I think I’ve been wearing the wrong shoes during the day…

I hate this part…. BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I need new shoes……..

11 weeks – 45 min in the park – 70 degrees

I MAY be feeling better today.

I won’t dare to state that as a fact because I’ve done that before and it turned out to be one giant JOKE two minutes later.

I had some awesome sharp pains shooing up my abdominal area as I ran today.

That was Awesome.

I was breathing like an obese 90 year old.

That was fun.

It was so frekin hot I was sweating my BALLS off.

Oh wait.  I forgot I don’t have balls.  People who have balls never have to go through this bullshit pregnancy fucking crap.

Right.

I can’t believe I’m still running like a fucking moron.  I swear these can be the early signs of borderline insanity.

If I don’t feel better in the next few days i’m jumping off a bridge.

45 min in the rain… I’m bored by this torture….

Today’s run felt like a constant chill running up and down my spine…  It was raining too so I literally felt like the biggest dumbass for being out there..

If this doesn’t end soon I’m going to start punching random people
