Every morning on our walk, we pass the same familiar dogs, the same crazies on Second Avenue (thanks to the nearby methadone clinic and halfway house), the same kids running to catch the school bus. It&#8217;s opened up a whole new morning world for me that I never fully appreciated. I&#8217;m sure this exists in the suburbs too, it&#8217;s just that in a city, there is so much activity at any time of day that even at 7am on a Tuesday there is a lot to see. We also encountered a happy, fat rat roaming around Stuyvesant Park. Shelby was very curious indeed - less scared of the rat than of the nearby people and dogs.</p>http://allegraelizabeth.tumblr.com/post/52789344449http://allegraelizabeth.tumblr.com/post/52789344449Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:09:00 +0100Shelby<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/66b45bd403fa2478b51cefa807bf3d97/tumblr_mo4ks43R9J1qz7x2wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Shelby’s first Metro North ride</p>http://allegraelizabeth.tumblr.com/post/52539445041http://allegraelizabeth.tumblr.com/post/52539445041Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:16:51 +0100shelby<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d2dc9e4f9335478f448e80e0775237dc/tumblr_mo39b6cLzT1qz7x2wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A family sandwich</p>http://allegraelizabeth.tumblr.com/post/52480011665http://allegraelizabeth.tumblr.com/post/52480011665Sat, 08 Jun 2013 20:11:30 +0100shelby<p>Good to know I am getting better with age not worse: got my pace down to an 8:08 minute mile in the 10k I ran this morning.
