13.1

I made it to the halfway point. Yay!

I have a ton of photos but can't seem to post them to the blog from my phone so they'll come later.

The route so far has been scenic for sure, going up the west side of NYC through Riverside Park, then across 72nd street to 9th Avenue and down 9th onto Bleeker, through Chelsea, the meat packing district, soho and then across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Lunch is just past the bridge and that's where I am now. Things are going slower than I expected - big bottlenecks of people at the start and crossing the bridge definitely slow things down!

I feel ok and hope the remaining 13.1 for today goes smoothly!

Thanks for all of the texts and FB posts, I truly appreciate the encouragement and support!!
