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 haven't done much real running lately and my right calf and hip have been bothering me, so I took it real easy: nice slow pace and walked the big hills.
Walked to the Central Park Conservatory garden with my honey this afteroon. Forsythia, daffodils, narcissus, tulips, pansies were all in bloom. Such a pretty spot!
I had planned to run 5 miles today, but my calf muscle stiffened up again as I was hurrying to cross the street. Maybe it is just as well, the winds in Central Park were more than a little blustery -- and I had to really work against the wind as I headed west up Carnegie Hill on my way there.

I went to see the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade today. I love this celebration - the spectators really go wild with hats, beads, face painting and, of course, plenty of green clothing! I was glad to see that many of the runners I saw later along the East River were also in festive green garb. One thing that didn't go so great today was cramping in my right calf -- it still seems to be bothering me from when I climbed 33 flights of stairs weeks ago. But I did try to get in a few miles anyway.
