Loving the Inclement Weather
Posted by Admin on December 17, 2008 in Training
Last night was NYC’s first snowfall of the season. I had previously planned on getting out to do a run, and to extend what had been a limit of 4 miles on a route that normally takes me from my apartment, across the 102nd transverse in Central Park, and back. When I learned that the […]
