Rockefeller Center. Park Avenue. Central Park. It's all in bloom.


I really love it.

(& a happy, happy birthday to my sister Elizabeth. I love you.)

Today's Mileage: 5K @ The Bronx Zoo + a zillion extra miles walking around playing tour guide. 
This Week's Total Mileage: 22.67 (not including previously mentioned city wanderings).
Do My Feet Hurt? Why yes, they do actually. So does my right knee, my calves & both of my lower butt cheek muscles. 
Thoughts: My body is very much in need of it's DAY OF REST tomorrow. And old men shouldn't wear those itty bitty running shorts. Gross. AND - why is it that my husband, who never, ever runs, ran the 5K SO MUCH FASTER THAN ME?! It made me a tiny bit depressed. I'll blame it on me being petite. OH - & we didn't really even see any animals. Oh well. The zoo was pretty & the weather was spectacular. 
Today's Weather: High of 85 (!). Despite my appropriate wardrobe selection of shorts + a light top, I was reminded how modest (um, dorky) I feel during New York City summers. I may as well be wearing a Snuggie

Thanks for encouraging me to run... I would kill for your endurance.

I'll make sure to add the Snuggie to the wish list for b-day / anniversary gifts...

I really love your tulip pictures. You are so talented!

Heather said...

Oh my GOSH!!! I love these photos! I'm especially obsessed with the white tulip pictures! You're amazing!

Now wait a second! I just sat down to blog...and was going to include pictures from Google images, since I didnt have my camera with me when I took a quick tour to see the flowers and trees in bloom here in Spokane....Now I feel really REALLY lame. Your pictures are spectacular. I think it's time you got a little business going....seriously. You are an AMAZING photographer. Aren't you glad you have the right camera and lens for the job? Thanks for sharing!

and you should totally wear a snuggie. maybe you'd become famous for being the girl in ny who wears a snuggie everywhere.

Angie said...

Elizabeth said...

I'm so glad you're having such a great time with Andrew & Conner. Did you ever think about a careeer as a tour director (and photographer)? I'm sure there's a need (do you speak Japanese?)

Hey Kathryn! I stumbled upon your blog a little while back and I don't think that I've ever commented before. I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE your blog! I'm going to school in NYC, and as a busy college student, I get very little time to enjoy all that the city has to offer. It's so sad, I know. I plan on following some of the suggestions from that fabulous list you put together of things to do in New York before I leave to go home in a few weeks.

And in reference to your Snuggie comment, I can totally relate. Isn't is crazy how one day everyone's wearing turtlenecks, and the next, they're wearing NOTHING?! I've been feeling like quite the outcast in my short-sleeved shirts.

I would be your first paying customer-start the business!!! You are more than talented! And I love that for once I actually got the weekend recap before reading the blog. Is that what life used to be like? Weird.

jocelyn said...

suz said...

I love your tulip photo's!

Just like the others, love the photos - really make me miss NYC! We almost bought fire sale tickets on Jet Blue to NYC for May, but then remembered we have a 10 year anniversary that we should be planning a once in a lifetime (or once in 10 year) trip for...maybe fall?

Don't feel bad Mike can run faster, it's a biological thing.

Talk to you soon, I hope.
