AM - 9 miles in NYC.  Coincidentally Dan was scheduled to be in NYC on business for his company as well - so we coordinated to run from our respective hotels (mine in Midtown and his Downtown) and then did a loop together.   We met on the Hudson River trail and shot over into the Village heading east and made our way back after going south for a bit.  It was kinda cool to do a run in a different city with my daily running partner.

AM - just under 6 miles with colleague Aaron from our hotel in NYC up the Hudson River trail and then over to Central Park and back down 5th Ave.  Too fast as always with him but good conversation and company on a work /business trip.

AM - 8 miles from my hotel in Hell's Kitchen up to Central Park around the reservoir and then over to Riverside and down the Hudson River trail.  Ran too quickly particularly when I entered the Park - (there are too many runners that make me feel like I need to compete in some way) so I ended up at threshold and then had to maintain for the second half of the run - slowing just a bit - but overall this was an unintended workout.   Going to need to take it easy tomorrow as we are traveling overnight on Friday to the UK.

AM - 4.75 miles on the trail with Dan and the dogs.  Needed an easier run today and got it.   They are doing a bunch of work on the trails making it a little challenging to navigate a bit at times.
