Run and Reward

I had planned on going for a run in Central Park this morning before class, but when I woke up it was grey and windy and it's just no fun going for a run when you can't enjoy the sunshine. Luckily, it warmed up after lunch and turned into an absolutely gorgeous day. After exercising in a stuffy gym for the duration of the winter, I've been jumping on any opportunity to burn calories outside while enjoying the warm weather.

One of the best (or worst, depending how you look at it) things about living right next to Columbus Circle is Whole Foods. Especially after a six mile run, it's like the light at the end of the tunnel. I usually make a pit stop after my workout and reward myself with kombucha. GT's Synergy kombucha is by far the best and the Passionberry Bliss flavor has become my lifeblood. Cosmic Cranberry takes second place, but it's never as carbonated as the Passionberry Bliss. Divine Grape used to be my favorite but it's carbonation factor has experienced a rather serious decline, which I am very opposed to. The bubblier the better, as I always say. I actually have a sick addiction, but as far as addictions go, it could be worse, right?

First, take a look at these beauties:

And now here are some pictures I snapped of the park today:

While it was an amazing day in NYC, the same can not be said for Boston. My heart goes out to all of the people who experienced the chaos, confusion and loss at the marathon today.
