I Run These Streets - Episode 1 failed

It was a great run! I started from where I had finished last time at Battery Park and contoured the southeast of Manhattan to then cross Manhattan bridge, run a bit on the waterfront, and finally come back through Brooklyn bridge. In total it was 6.3 miles and I had the pleasure to talk to a fellow runner while we ran together on Brooklyn bridge. I gave him the address of my blog, let's see if he checks it out.

Unfortunately though, my camera died right at the beginning of the run and I was able to record just a bit of footage. Damn USB connection, I thought it was fully charged, next time I will make sure it is.

I plan to do this run soon again, it's a great - really great - view of NYC. GPS signal fails a lot because at some points there isn't a clear view of the sky.


Total so far: 11.7 miles / 2 runs:


And this is the short video of the beginning of the run:

I Run These Streets: Pilot

The project "I run these streets" is a declaration of love to NYC. Each episode is the length of a cool song to run to and the path of the run is shown in a stop motion-like style. For me this is motivation to cover as much ground as possible in this awesome city and to keep running!

This is the Pilot episode, I run from home on 42nd and 12th all the way down to Battery Park along the Hudson River. This has become one of my favorite places to run, sunsets are amazing, the "Westside Greenway Path" as it is known is usually packed with people practicing sports or chilling out in front of the river. The region around TriBeCa is my favorite.

My first 5.4 miles (8.6km) being tracked in the project! (I wish I had started it earlier)

Songs I like to run with: Rammstein - Amerika

I really like industrial rock and Rammstein is absolutely great. This song gives me energy on hills.


We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

Wenn getanzt wird, will ich führen,
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht,
lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren,
Ich zeige euch wie's richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.

We're all living in America...

Ich kenne Schritte, die sehr nützen,
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen,
und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss,
weiß noch nicht, dass er tanzen muss!
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
ich werde Euch die Richtung zeigen,
nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus,
und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.

Refrain:
We're all living in America,
America is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

This is not a love song,
this is not a love song.
I don't sing my mother tongue,
No, this is not a love song.

We're all living in America,
Amerika is wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

Songs I like to run with: We were promised Jetpacks - Quite Little Voices

This scottish rock band is awesome! A great song to bring you energy when you start to get tired.



Quiet little voices creep into my head
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again

Quiet little monsters creep into my bedroom wall
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you

Quiet words of wisdom creep into your victim's ears
I'll die for you
I'll die for you
I'll die for you

In any which direction
Call me I will run for you
I'll come for you
I'll die for you
I'll come for you

Quiet little voices creep into my head
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again
I'm young again

Quiet little monsters creep into my head
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
I'll fall for you
I'll fall...

Quiet little voices
Quiet little vo- oh-oh-oh-oh
Quiet little monsters
Quiet little mo- oh-oh-oh-oh

Quiet little voices
Quiet little vo- oh-oh-oh-oh
Quiet little monsters
Quiet little mo- oh-oh-oh-oh

I'd better start now
I'd better start

Quiet little voices
Quiet little vo- oh-oh-oh-oh
Quiet little monsters
Quiet little mo- oh-oh-oh-oh

Songs I like to run with

Seether - Rise Above This
I love when this song shows up on random at the middle of my runs, it simply makes me think that I can accomplish everything no matter what's happening in my life. Ups and Downs are just part of life and the stronger you are, the easier to go through the downs.


Take the night and darken everything around me
Call the clouds and listen closely, I'm lost without you

Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Hate your mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know this void will grow
And everything's in vain, distressing you, don't leave me open
Feels so right that I'll end this all before it gets me

Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Call your name everyday when I seem so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this rise, rise above this now

I'll mend myself before it gets me
I'll mend myself before it gets me
I'll mend myself before it gets me
I'll mend myself before it gets me

Call your name everyday when I feel so helpless
I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feeling helpless
Fallen down and I'll rise above this, rise above this
Rise above this, rise above this now
