First run in Liberty State park this spring/summer

Just came back from a satisfactory run/walk in Liberty State Park. Covered the entire length of the LSP walkway starting at one end and returning to it. Ran most of the onward run, and alternated between running and walking on the way back. Also included two short and sudden bursts (fartleks) on the way back. The whole exercise - including stretching and warming up and cooling down - took around an hour. The run did wonders to my stressed-out and worried state-of-mind I had been enduring since yesterday evening.

I like running at LSP enjoying the nice views that include the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the entire length of the West-side of Manhattan, parts of Brooklyn and Staten Island, Jersey City downtown, Liberty Science Center, Verrazano bridge, Hudson river with its ferries, water taxis, yachts, boats - small and large - and the occasional Cruise ship or a Aircraft Carrier of the navy.
