April 14 – Last Day in New York, Running in Central Park

Today was going to be long, intense business day and it was going to start with a leisurely run thru Central Park. I have run in a lot of places throughout the world, and in my opinion, there is something special about running in Central  Park. I have had the good luck to do it on numerous occasions and it never gets old to me. My country, great city, awesome location. I ran 5 miles at an easy pace. I felt a bit sluggish. My legs did not respond until almost the 4th mile.

I have spent the last two days with sick people. Both executives I am travelling with are sick and two of the people we are visiting with and spending a lot of time with are sick. So I have been in close quarters with all of them and combined with the intensity of the week, I think it has caught up to me. I felt I had the aches this morning, a touch of sniffles. Luckily, it was an easy run and just something to get the blood flowing.

I am beginning to hydrate more and despite keeping religion on my diet the whole week, I have stepped things up today by taking additional steps, eating more fruit, power bars etc.

I just need to get today’s business behind me and get to Boston.

Tally for the Day: 5 miles, running
