I Run These Streets, Episode 1: The Two Bridges


If you read the previous post you know that my camera died when I first ran the "two bridges" course last Saturday. I think many people would be highly disappointed and would put this course at the end of their list, just because it's no fun to run the same course twice in a row. Not me.

I did it today, labor day, and actually the course was nicer, with less people on the bridges and I really loved it.

This is the best course you can run in NYC, the views are extraordinary. Don't get me wrong, I love Central Park, but this is a different animal and you can't say you've run in NYC if you didn't run over the Brooklyn Bridge.

This is the course according to my Forerunner 405:


And this is the total so far, 3 runs, 17.7 miles (28.3km):


The song I used in the clip happened to be the last song I heard when I was on Brooklyn Bridge (shuffle mode in my iPhone's iPod) and I liked it.

Here are the lyrics, they are a bit sad, but while running I didn't notice it.

If a train crashed into our garden,
Would we notice the noise?
Would it make us sit up and turn off the TV?

Out of focus
And out of moments,
Remember, this is us.

All I want is someone to pull me out.
I'm stuck in a traffic jam
with nowhere to run for miles.
All I want is someone to pull me out.
I'm stuck in a traffic jam
with nowhere to run for miles.

I'm scared of what you might tell me.
I see your mouth move but I don't hear
a word that you say.

I'm so sorry I'm not better at love.
Just remember that this is us.

All I want is someone to pull me out.
I'm stuck in a traffic jam with
nowhere to run for miles.

All I want is someone to pull me out.
I'm stuck in a traffic jam with
nowhere to run for miles.

Come here and find me,
I'll be waiting.
Come here and find me,
And I'll be waiting.
Come here and find me,
I'll be waiting.
I'm stuck in a traffic jam
with nowhere to run for miles.

I'm stuck in a traffic jam
with nowhere to run for miles.
And all I want is someone to pull me out.
I'm stuck in a traffic jam
with nowhere to run for miles.
