1100 Miles in 2011 - Run Four

Gold Star! Cate and I went for a run this past Saturday.  Central Park was still beautiful and covered in snow from earlier in the week.  The route is strange because we also ran by the movie theater to get tickets for the King's Speech which we went to see that evening.  

1100 Miles in 2011 - Run Three

Only run three?  Yipees!  Well I'm back from vacation in Paris and first day back knocked out 5.7 miles and it felt pretty good.  Gold star day. 

Foods from Paris

Two of my favorit meals in Paris and the two that I happened to take pictures of.

Duck Confit with Sauteed Potatoes

Fish with White Sauce and Pesto on Creamed Potatoes

Eiffel @ Night

Not many food pictures coming as promised but the wifi at the apartment is broken. Here is the Eiffel Tower instead from one of Paris' free wifi zones.

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

I'm leaving for Paris this afternoon, and I have to say I'm excited to spend time in the City of Lights with my fiance.  I'm looking forward to the food and sites.  Who knows, maybe run number 3 will happen in the streets of Paris?  I doubt it.  I think I'll be too stuffed from a day of non-stop eating and too tired from endless walking, but you never know!  I'm going to try to send mobile posts along the way so check back for some action from Paris.

1100 Miles in 2011 - Run Two

Gold Star.  I had an okay run. It was one of those runs where you think you are running far and fast, but it isn't that far and you aren't going that fast.  Funny thing is I've run this route many times so I know how far it is, but I still couldn't shack that feeling.  Tonight was close to an even 4 miles in just under 40 minutes.  I realize I might not have time to map every run as I move forward though I do plan to start a cleaner log then these run postings.  However for these post I'm going to use a star system. A "Gold Star" means I did 4 miles or more which I will need to do to hit my goal.  A "Silver Star" means I did the bare minimum 3 miles for the day.  A "Bronze Star" means at least I got out there and ran!

1100 Miles in 2011 - Run One

Cate and I took advantage of the mild winter weather in NYC and enjoyed a nice run in Central Park.  Nothing gets rid of any alcohol lingering in your system better than water and a run.  Besides the hordes of tourists ignoring all etiquette it was a beautiful run through a scenic, snow and ice covered Central Park.  Only 1094 miles to go!
