A runner's blog

I am running!

A little background. Over a year ago, I had a major knee operation that required getting bolts in my knee. I have been neglecting the rehabilitation of my knee, and recently my doctor has been encouraging me to exercise and eat right due to my heart condition. So, to make a long story short, I started running.

It's only been a few weeks, but baby steps, baby, baby steps. This blog will help me keep track of my progress of my running escapades, and maybe share some other highs (and lows) in the fabulous life of moi.

I also started running with a running buddy and that's been awesome. It encourages both of us to get up early and run, run, run. And today, another buddy joined, and we happened to run into another buddy while running. We had a great fearsome foursome of runners. Starting at Rector Street on the west side, near the bottom of Manhattain, we ran to 23rd street, and then turned around to 13th. And to top it off, we walked to Murray's bagels on 13th and 6th for a well deserved treat. Whole wheat everything bagel, yum!

Last week my friend and I ran from Rector Street in Battery Park to about 46th Street on the west side. To top off that long run, we enjoyed H&H bagels. Nice to have a goal, a bagel goal.

The next running topic: is chocolate milk the best after drink after a long run? So says my friend, but I am skeptical. Let the truth (or chocolate milk) flow. Stay tuned.

To reward myself, I also announce that I'm kind of a big deal. Kinda.
