I picked up running in 2019 when I was living in New York City.
Situated a few blocks away from Central Park, I caught a glimpse of some Sunday morning NYRR races and decided to join in.
BTW, if you’re new to NYC and want to run with a great group, try out a run with Great Hill Track Club.
This page contains all my running content. See you out there ✌️🏃
