I’m a New Yorker, and I run. I get bored doing laps around the park or running up and down the Hudson River path. Instead, I use my long-distance runs to explore the neighborhoods in my city, especially in the outer boroughs. I’ve decided to take a cheap digital camera with me on some of my runs to document the city and its changes as seen when crossing on foot.
I ran it in respectable (for me) 2:05. I took only a few pictures because, well, it was a race and I thought I might have a shot at my first sub-two. Also the sun was low and bright, which made it hard to get good shots. But it's a terrific course—it winds along the Staten Island waterfront, so it has a lot of visual variety, which makes for a much easier run. Plus... free boat ride!
This was my first-ever run in the borough of Republicans and Wu-Tang. I look forward to coming back for a more leisurely look around and better pictures.
