Long day in New York! I woke up at 4am to get an Amtrak train to NYC to meet up with my friend Amar. We ran 8 miles with a couple of Amar’s running buddies, and then Amar and I ate an excellent breakfast at a restaurant called Bubby’s Tribeca. 

After breakfast, I walked to the World Trade Center to visit the 911 Memorial and Museum. It was my first time back to this hallowed ground since the towers fell on September 11, 2001. I spent several hours there, but it wasn’t enough time. 

Later, I walked to my first office post-college near the World Trade Center at 33 Maiden Lane where I worked for IBM. It looks exactly the same as it did almost 40 years ago. 

Then, I jumped on a subway train to Brooklyn to run for a second time today, this one around Prospect Park. I used to live nearby in a neighborhood called Park Slope. 

Today brought back many fond memories of living and working in NYC for 9 years. It’s 9pm and I’m still on my return train to Philly. I’m exhausted. Great day!
