I've raced in Central Park about a half a dozen times or so. It's a challenge depending on the race as there are several decent inclines and long flats.
My friend Gene and I decided to meet in front of the Apple store on 5th ave and 59th to do a casual run. Gene has a great giving streak in him as he's involved in several charities including Ronald McDonald house. Gene is going to participate in the NY Marathon this year and while assisting a wheel chair bound participant. Essentially he will be pushing the wheelchair 26 miles. I wish him well, that to me is a bit much of a challenge.
He and I decided to start running casually around the park, a six mile loop. It was a cool, crisp morning, definitely better than the weather we have been having which has been hot and muggy.
I have to say Central Park is a much different place in the morning. It truly is a beautiful place to run. I'm going to post some pictures later in the day from the CP loop where Gene and I ran.
Note: My right hamstring is barking like a whipped dog. I may have to curtail my running to shorter distances to keep myself upright. This is going to stink because I'm set to do the NYC Half Marathon sponsored by Nike.
