When you're a runner there are places in the world that are simply a must-run. One of those places is Central Park. It's one thing to read about it and a completely different story to actually run in it. Turns out the way is not flat but you are constantly running like a wind down hill or struggling uphill. It's hard to get that just by watching google maps. Another thing is: people. Running in Central Park feels like you were taking part in some organized run that got extended to... everyday :).
When you're a runner in NYC: go run in central park! But than again - you probably already have that on your to-do run check list.
Central park run: CHECK!
