Back in NY for the weekend. Run along the Brooklyn waterfront. They are doing a lot of work to make a linear park along the old dock area and converting the old piers into recreational areas. One has several soccer pitches, and a couple have park areas.
A couple of noticeable things. One pier has been denoted Fishermans wharf, and has benches and sinks for cleaning fish. It also has health warning signs about the dangers of eating fish caught from the pier.
There was also a sign we coming you to pier 4 beach, a small sandy area. A bit closer to the water was a sign with "no swimming or wading"

Body weight exercises

Went across the Bass River into West Dennis this morning. Noticeable difference, in the scenery .

In Cape Cod for a couple of days. Run along the Bass River and then the beach front at South Yarmouth. Nice running conditions this morning, cool and still, with some really nice views over the river.
The plan for today is to do a lighthouse crawl starting at Provincetown and working our way back to Yarmouth.

Did some basic body weight exercises.

Reverse of yesterday with a little bit extra. It has been hot and humid. Walked around Mystic yesterday, a well preserved town. The houses have the date they were built on a small plaque at the front. A couple dated back to the 1790's, and quiet a few early 1800s. Also noticed that the fire hydrants all had an ariel on them so you could find them in the snow.

A loop along the Mystic River CT.

Back in NY for a night to swap clothes. Two bridges run.
Bad train trip up from DC. Mechanical issues meant several stops, and then limping along at 40 kph instead of 160. Did an engine swap at Philly, so the last bit was ok.

Long run, along Pennsylvania Ave to Mstreet and Georgetown, across Key bridge, then along the river, across Arlington bridge and up the Mall. Very warm morning.
