New paved lane

First morning here in 6 days.
Listening to Endgame and Th1rt3en.
One thing I notice is that there's now a bike lane on 29th going west. I remember it had been started last week but now it's in full swing. The only problem I have with it is that as we get to the highway, the lane is in the middle of the road. It's done like that b/c cars/trucks can only go right or left there, but I'm a little skeptical. Didn't matter today anyway, b/c I didn't make the light so I went to 26th and made that one right on time.
I got some new clothes for mild exercise like this, and I'm feeling a little sore, since I ran 2 RTs (8.5 - 8.8 miles) on the boardwalk yesterday at 66 minutes. That's pretty much keeping the pace of my half maras there, which I did on Thanksgiving day.
Still, it's pretty warm out and the tough part was the gusts earlier on.
Saw Peter Dinklage as I go further south, closer to Tribeca area. I made eye contact & smiled, but he just momentarily stared back. I wanted to re-introduce myself since I had interviewed him for my first NYLJ feature but it's not worth it.
The remainder of the year won't be so bad, since I will only have to work one five-day week. Between the remaining holiday and days I have left I will space them out accordingly.
I have shaken the cold I'd had and now I'm pretty much at full force. I had a lot to drink in the past week -- not a lot for a regular drinker, but a lot for me, and I can feel its effects on me. I'm a little sluggish compared to 3 weeks ago.
Still reading GE, but read more during today's train ride than all of the past 5 days combined. Things have been good and I'll make it my business to maintain this.
Thank you for reading.
