A week has passed since the NYC Marathon. Despite some nagging hip issues for most of the run, the marathon was amazing. Starting with the incredible views from atop the Verrazzano Bridge to the cheering crowds in Central Park, and everything in between, the race was unforgettable. I left the day knowing that this would not me my last marathon, let alone my last NYC Marathon. I already have my sights set on the NJ Marathon on May 1, 2011. Can’t wait.

But between now and then I hope to bite into a big piece of the Big Apple. Today was my first run since the marathon and used it to get back into my street running program. I put in a few recovery miles in midtown. There is nothing like having thousands of people cheering as you and your fellow runners own the streets of the city of a day. That said, I’m not one for the spotlight so I much prefer a relaxed run minus the cheering crowds, just blending into the everyday goings of the city street. Still, if you see me running around one day feel free to yell a hardy “GO WEBER!”
