I think I'm going to start a question of the day.
What is your favorite running/biking route and why? Mine is a short run around the Battery and Battery Park City, basically just around the tip of Manhattan and up the Hudson River a bit. The run is b... read more

RUN
This morning was perfect for a run - 70, low humidity, and a nice breeze off the harbor. How do you like that, South?
Two days until the NYRR Tri... looking forward to it even though it might be rainy.
Great run, Daniel--good luck Sunday!
about 24 hours agoAnother easy run, great job Daniel!

RUN
This was a tough but much needed run.
Ran 10 x 12 second hill sprints on Columbia Heights (probably 8-10% grade)
2 mile warm up and 2 mile cool down over the Brooklyn Bridge (saw Elyssa walking into Manhattan on my way out)
ah nice work on my hill! It's an 8% grade....but the tricky part is how it sneaks up on you. Good stuff!
3 days agoWTG, Daniel! Great job! Keep it up.
3 days agoGreat job on the hills. Keep up the great work.

Explain your profile picture. Is it from a race? Are those your kids? Your dog? Your shoes? Tell us the story.

My pic is of me entering the beginning of the Greenway on Dyckman (pretty boring)
4 days agoMine is of me next to my racing sausage costume. You got it, I'm a famous racing sausage for the Milwaukee Brewers. Call me Frank. If you've been to a Brewers' game, you have seen the sausages (5). Klements is a big sponsor.

I was going to do a hill workout this morning, but I ended up with pretty bad insomnia and was still awake at 3AM. So, I moved the run to this evening and biked into the office earlier than usual so I can run some CP hills after work.
it's that whole life-work-run balance thing :)
4 days agodefinitely rest tonight after your run, daniel!
4 days agoOh boy, hope you can get some sleep tonight ! At least nothing last forever.

Home via the West Side Highway. Lots of people out and about today. I love NYC when the weather is nice.
(p.s., I really need to get my MTB tuned... it keeps skipping gears.)
Nice commuting Daniel!!!
5 days agoI hope to get back to NYC one day.
4 days ago@Philip, I do my own maintenance on the road bike. I don't know why I've been apathetic about keeping the MTB tuned. Now, the shifters don't catch every time, and I can't even get into the lowest gear. It would be a heck of a lot easier just to pay someone to get it back to normal.

I am so happy about this short break in the heat... it's been hotter (heat index wise) in NYC than Atlanta over the last week, so this 80 degree day feels like fall.
Nice 5er Daniel. I agree, the weather is amazing!!!
5 days agoI would get way too sweaty running in... with the bike, I just use a couple face wipes and change into some work clothes and I'm good to go. If I ran, no amount of face wipes would get me back to a work acceptable condition.
5 days agoLoving the weather too... Great job Daniel!

Just an easy and short yoga routine to loosen up my tight legs and back.
I like running in the nature park. Partly because now that I am a BF runner I can see more animals that I would have other wise scared off with the clip clop of my feet.
about 22 hours agoCentral Park bridle path is my favorite run route. It's away from crowds and certain paths are so nice and soft I don't know whether I should keep running or take a nap.
I don't have too many ride routes, but for now I guess I'd have to go with River Road along 9W for the lack of traffic and the workout.
about 20 hours agoI really like the Nyack ride but only because I really like the beautiful houses that sit beside the Hudson and I really enjoy the Runcible Spoon. But my favorite ride is along the Belt Parkway from Sheepshead Bay across the Marine Parkway Bridge and over to Jacob Riis Park (beach.) I feel totally disconnected from NYC when I'm out there.
