Summer Street 2026 run

My phone is dying, my AirPods are dying, my calves are dying, my lungs are dying and I’m dying to rest. This is it. I throw in the towel. You got the best of me again this year, Summer Streets. Fitting since I had my first marathon last year. However, next year you’re going down and I may do 32! (A man can dream, right? LOL) I end with shots of the Totally 90s Workout station at Astor Place. It was led by two amazing drag instructors. Wish I had the energy to join them, since everyone was having a blast For those that followed along, thanks for the support! I felt it, cuz I woulda stopped at 13 otherwise. 🤣. Tom signing off. See ya next year at Summer Streets 2027. Come join me in-person too. It’ll make it more 😎.

Apple Music, I see you!

3/4 mark but my battery is 🪫. I’ll try to post a sign off before it does.

Snack break at mile 19.

Avengers, unite!

My fave leg of Manhattan Summer Streets

Midtown summer streets is a bit crowded. Does no one like the Heights?

Ha! Apple Music has jokes.

Back to normal. Yes it’s slow, but it’s my normal. LOL

Back on Park Ave, jogging and feeling good.

Mile 13 was my rest mile at the Rest Stop. Finished my Gatorade, used the potty, slammed some ibuprofen and am ready to start running again. And the answer is “No, watch, I’m NOT done with my run workout. Thank you very much. “

Thank goodness there’s a pharmacy on every other corner.

Made the half, but this may be it. We’ll see.

The Heights killed me. I had to walk to finish this last uphill. If my homie Jacob was here like last year, he woulda pushed me to not stop.

A cool church

The G Dub bridge

Made it back to the highest point in the heights. It wasn’t as easy time around.

Made it to Inwood

All downhill into Inwood. Oh no, but then I have to come back up. 😱

Finally, some downhill! Oh crap. I have to come back up.

OK, I was wrong about the last post. This is the maximum height in the height.

The tippy top in the heights.

I love it when the train tracks come out in the middle of the street and the street goes down and the track stay flat

Passing Columbia University

Do do do do do do do do Costanza!!!

Morningside Heights

North west corner of Central Park

I love east Harlem.

Spanish Harlem

Where the trains come out of Park Avenue?
