My Manhattan running project runs are usually solo events or on occasion my wife will join.  This allows me to view the everyday activities going on around me without disrupting the natural flow of things.  One or two people running down the street in not going to throw off the rhythm of life within any given neighborhood.  With that said, tonight’s run was a completely different story.  As part of the Wall Street 3 Miler, Maura and I joined a few thousand other runners and countless walkers to take over a few blocks of lower Manhattan.  It was hot, it was crowded, but this is New York so what more could you ask for.  On this run, instead of observing the everyday goings of the neighborhood, we were the show.  Professional looking folks cheered us on as we weaved our way thought the cavernous streets of the financial district.  I view my Manhattan running project runs as a way of observing different parts of the city but I guess for one night there’s nothing wrong with being part of the show.
