I have taken a break from regular posting, but wanted to write to share my walking experience in New York. That’s NYC, the Big Apple.
Not somewhere you’d think of going for exercise, unless maybe you’re coming here for the New York marathon. I always find I walk more and exercise better here though.
Maybe it’s the short north-south blocks? Or the fact that it’s faster to walk than take the subway a few stops. But it’s a joy for me. And it seems easier.
I have taken on a management job in my business life, so my last 6 months have been incredibly intense. A new job plus the old job, until I redistributed my work left precious little time for myself. I will ultimately have more time for things like aquafit classes, since I’m no longer a “producer,” but the transition left little time to myself. This meant I wasn’t sure if I would be able to handle my typical level of NYC walking – it’s been fine though!
Yesterday I walked the High Line, the well-known elevated park in Chelsea. I walked Greenwich Village, and then through SoHo, where I bought a new dress. I put the dress on over my shorts and met up with a client I have worked remotely with but had never met. Then I walked the Financial District, saw some music and jumped on the subway to go home. In the end it was almost 22,000 steps.
I feel it today, but not in a bad way. I just got out of the bath and am headed out for Day 2.
What is it about the magic of New York?
And how do I bring that energy home with me?
