Despite waking through the night due to the heat and cramp in my legs. I felt quite refreshed. I didn't leave the apartment until 11:00. This meant as slightly later start than I had anticipated for today's half marathon walk. I took the 3 train from outside the Brooklyn Museum to 96th Street. Where I changed to the 1 to Marble Hill 225st. The subway ride itself was interesting. Seeing how the different stations changed as I moved North & uphill. There were e...

A good nights sleep meant that I felt I should get back to running. I did another short run round the park. This was so hard in the heat. Starting later at 10:00 was so much worse than going out before 09:00. A quick shower, change and bacon sandwich & I was on my way. First stop was to purchase a 7 day unlimited metrocard which gives as many trips as you want & allows more freedom of movement. So first up I took advantage of the nearby New York Transit ...

All worked out well as with Christine's help we ate some amazing Dim Sum. She even man...

After the walk I went back to the apartment to have sometime out of the sun & watched a few episodes o...

Fully refreshed from the night before I went for another early morning (shorter) jog round the park, stopping to do some dips & chin ups along the way. I watched a new show first episode on Amazon prime about the Germans & Japanese winning WW2 before walking half an hour to meet Barry. (Adam Cogan to some). We jumped on the C train I believe into West 4th. Where Ee grabbed lunch in a lovely quiet spot called Bar Sabine, where u can sit & watch the wo...
