To Manhattan and back!

• Sat, Oct 7: 11 miles, 2.5 hours. From Prospect Park, across the Brooklyn bridge to West St in Manhattan and back. First time out of the borough. First time in the double digits!!!
  

Considering that last weekend was the first time out of the park, these next milestones came very quickly. lol

Wow, it was cold that morning. I'm glad I took multiple pairs of socks. But the day warmed up some, and it was beautiful. My slow run/jog across the Brooklyn bridge was quite something. Yosi, Nasser and I stayed together for most of it, for which I'm quite grateful, as I definitely had to take it slowly. The legs hurt, alright, and it was slower on the way back. But it was the legs, not the breath, that was the fight, which is amazing to me. I mean, I was quite slow, but still.

As an aside, I am now a huge fan of frozen peas as icepacks (thanks janieane :). Doing my best to stay healthy and keep running. Thanks for all the support!!!
