The Beat of my Feet - BB

The Beat of My Feet on the Brooklyn Bridge Today
  
Blair and I ran the Brooklyn Bridge today!  I could hear the beat of my feet as I ran this famous bridge.  Running the Brooklyn Bridge in New York was another special run for me. 

There are a lot of bridges in New York but I won't have the opportunity to run them all.  The Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, and the George Washington Bridge to name a few.

As you may know, Blair and I ran the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco a few months ago (in June).  Must admit that the Brooklyn Bridge (BB) can't hold a candle to the Golden Gate (GG)!  Just no comparison.  Sorry BB!  The GG is so much prettier - the water view is so much nicer and it is easy to see the water as you run the GG - you feel the water and the calm.  The BB running area is dirty - I felt like I had to watch every step that hit the pavement.  Much of the running route for pedestrians does not share the view of the water.  At one point you do see the Statute of Liberty - but if you blink you will miss seeing it!

Having said that, the Bridge is very pretty architecturally.   The weather was perfect.   So, all in all, another sweet awwhhhhh moment for this lady.
