We did not get carried away!

December 23, 2019 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Nathaniel, Abby, and Ana decided to go on a short little jog. I may have been along for the ride but am in no way responsible for the entire outing lasting 2 1/2 hours. In fact, the lions are responsible for that. And the tigers. And bears. Seals too, in all likelihood. And Jacob Weitzner, Alex Jacoby, and Justin Connell who intercepted us as we were exiting the zoo (there to see the zoo lights, not to run) and engaged us in the conversation for 10 minutes. And the mud which made the Soapstone Valley Trail very slippery, particular the parts that weren't actually a trail but us getting sidetrack and then stubbornly plowing ahead through the leaves till Nathaniel sat down on a run for supposedly the first time in his life. Or Matt and Adina Siff's house, which somehow manifested itself in the middle of a dead-end street we had decided to run-up shortly after exiting the Melvin-Hazen extention. And Grant Road, which we ran a block down for historical reasons. All this is to say that if the run was a teensy bit longer than Anthony had instructed for Abby to go, not to mention what he would have cleared Nathaniel for had he even asked, this coach/alum had NOTHING to do with it.

p.s. Ruby Kaplan, aren't all the streets around Central Park numbered? And isn't the park itself just one giant rectangle? Just sayin.
