Does anyone walk in the Central Park area (metro NYC)?

Hey Team, Does anyone walk near or in Central Park. I wish I could find a walking buddy, since I've been a little discouraged by my insurance - and need to find my focus again (besides a little cardio goes a long way). Hope to hear from someone in the area. \(^_^)/ susie

Hi Susie I am always available to walk with you?

Susie, I meet with some people once a month in Central Park to walk. Email me if you are interested in joining us. Take care, Mary

Hi Susie, I live around the corner from Central Park, right by the reservoir and I never take advantage of it. I totally need a buddy to help keep me motivated. E-mail me and maybe we can set up walking dates???? Best of luck, Ilyssa

Hi again susie, I started jogging to change up my cardio and so far I am doing very well with it. First time out I did a 13:30 mile and now I have it down to 10:29. I was so pleased that I could actually complete a mile without stopping and now that I am getting close to a 10 minute mile I am thrilled. The past month I've been in Manhattan once a week and so far I managed only a couple of visits to CP for a jog. For now, I think I will stick to the running as it feels great and the weight is starting to come off a bit quicker. Best of luck to you on your walking! Kenny

Kenny - that is AMAZING!!! 13:30 mile... Wholly molly! I remember going through a phase when I was 19 - still relatively obese - I wanted to join the navy- so I lost about 50 lbs exercising 6 days a week and starving myself - well, all in all I was required to do a 15 minute mile, and I couldn't. I commend you Kenny for this accomplishment. Some of us who are in our beginning stages of WLS can only daydream of being able to run, and support our weight with every step. Since I work nights (4pm -12am what we call the Asian shift at work), I will only be able to walk on Saturdays - however I will email you and Alyssa to see if you guys want to meet up. I'm so impressed with the response regarding my query on the message board. It shows we are quite supportive of each other, and very resourceful people! Thanks a buch everyone - and God Speed to you Kenny! Ciao \(^_^)/ susie
