Use this opportunity to get in shape and meet new people. The Nike store on East 57th Street holds free group runs/walks every Tuesday and Thursday. All you have to do is show up with your running gear, and you can store any other bags at the store while you run. If you are more serious, and looking to train for the marathon, they also offer a coach and pacer available to help you prepare. Afterwards the store gives away free water, juice, and snacks. Nike advises you to show up 15 minutes before the scheduled run to check your bags and stretch before taking off.
