The NYC Insider's guide to the NYC running is inspired by the thoughts and experiences of a New Yorker who has run the NYC Marathon twice and is now training for 5 Half Marathons - one in each of the five boroughs.

I hate to run in the rain, but I wanted to get some miles in before Hurricane Irene hits, so I did run through some drizzle this afternoon. Like many things I dread, of course, it wasn't as bad as I had feared. The surprise? How many other people were out running, ride bikes, walking their dogs, or simply strolling along before the storm.

I ran again on Randall's Island. There was a stiff breeze which kept me cool while I was running (and made me cold enough to put on a sweatshirt when I stopped). There is always something to see: the Budweiser Clydesdale's were housed in a tent in the parking lot near Icahn Stadium, for example.

I've been doing lots of wii running lately - a mixture of the weather, childcare responsibilities, and nursing my sore hip kept me inside - but today I was back out in Central Park. I definitely get a sweatier outside! I had intented to run six miles -- but on a beautiful Saturday afternoon the park was too full with people, bikes, demonstrators and ambulences and I hate the extra-crowded southern portion of my six-mile run anyway, so I skipped it.

I experienced some hip and back pain during and after my run on Wednesday - enough that I took yesterday off (and had a great morning massage). And even with some wii fit running this morning, I could feel some residual discomfort, so I didn't complete the 10 miles I had planned.
