the reservoir



This is a shot looking west across the reservoir in Central Park. It's a little over a mile and a half in circumference. If you time it just right, you can almost have the path all to yourself; almost, because it's nearly impossible to have this little slice of runner's heaven all to yourself. In the fall, the view is spectacular. Here's a shot facing south.



If the res is too short a distance for you, you'll want to run the loop: that's Central Park Drive, which if you take the long way is just a smidge over 6 miles. Unlike the res, the loop offers hills, flats and a great opportunity for people watching. Beware of cyclists, roller-bladers (yes, they still exist), and parents pushing speeding baby carriages.



Today's workout:
-100 KB high-pulls
-DB thrusters (8x2)
-dips (6x10)
