Crazy, crazy last 24 hours. 

So the New York Marriott Marquis is one of my companies biggest clients and ever since we installed a new network in the hotel it has been plagued with many problems.  This part of the company is not what I normally do but my boss asked me as a last resort if I could fly out here last minute and see if I could fix the problem.  I was really reluctant and didn't want to come at all, mainly cause I didn't think there was anything I could do.  So I got here yesterday afternoon and immediately went to work, worked till about midnight last night but I was in fact able to identify the problem and have put a band-aid fix in place.  I'm pretty excited about the fix though, I actually got to use the skills my company hired me for :) and fix a pretty major problem.

Anyway, to relate this to running.  New York is probably my most favorite place to come for running.  I love to wake up early and run around Central Park....... However, it's frickin cold and windy here, and since I was up late last night, couldn't sleep at all and have a full day full of meetings trying to make our customer love us again I opted for the hotel gym, which as far as hotel gyms go this one is about the coolest I've ever been to.  It's up on the 23rd floor and the treadmills are right against the windows over looking Time Square, really cool feeling to just be 300' in the air running into the most famous intersection in the world.
