Route # 3 – Battery Park towards Chelsea

I must say the view just keeps getting better! The run keeps getting longer and easier (I wonder if this is from my legs getting stronger or the beauty of the route). Yesterday I took off to Battery Park on the usual 0.75 mile loop. But after doing the loop, I came out and decided to see what lay beyond. After all, the previous 2 runs had yielded rewarding routes when I succumbed to curiosity. Not at all disappointed this time either.Here are a couple of snippets I was able to capture on my iPhone that I was a carrying with me on the run. I should have taken more pictures but I was just so lost in taking in the view with my eyes, that it did not strike me until the very last moment to snap a few pictures!

Running along the east shore of Hudson, was the west side highway, with a seperate walkway flanked by trees and parks on either side and the beautiful views of hudson washing right up to the footsteps. Did the 2.5 mile run today I think. I went as far as there was a volleyball court where grown men, dressed in work formals were fighting like kids over a fault point in the game. Newyork never ceases to pick at your intrigue There is something about running beside water, I must concede. Something about it that makes me run for a longer time and feel more refreshed and free. Yes thats the word – “Free”. Run Free…
