The Dawn Jogger can’t remember when she was last in New York City in the spring but she’s thinking it was a long, long time ago.

Tours, strollers, exercisers, musicians (a keen eye will spot the sax player at Bethesda Terrace in the photo), the park is just teeming with visitors. Maybe that she ran rather late in the morning helped…
