I know that it's going to be a long day when I find myself signing in at the front desk of my office building because the day security guard isn't due in for another hour.
Madison Square Park still looked pretty in the morning sun the only difference being that I was sharing it with Tai Chi practioners and bleary-eyed dog walkers instead of the usual pinstriped business types and fitness freaks.
The main disappointing outcome of my long day was that I didn't make it out for my own 'run' (ok, jog/walk) along the Hudson this evening. I've been doing pretty well with the exercise regime but tonight felt like a bridge too far. Especially as another storm is threatening like the one I got caught in on Friday night. I really did have to run on that occasion and surprised myself by how fast and far I could go when in danger of being struck by lightning!
Before the heavens opened and tried to drown me I was treated to the menacing creep of the black clouds rolling in over the island and enveloping the skyscrapers of Manhattan. I was obviously so distracted by the sight that I failed to do compute it's imminent implications!
Still, I must quietly admit to quite enjoying the mad rush for home with water dripping off the end of my nose and my feet squelching in my trainers. Faint memories of Trailwalker stir...
My final creative writing class tomorrow night so no running then either. I'll tell you all about that tomorrow instead.
