Kinda crazy that people are finishing the NYC marathon in the dark...

Concerned for someone running as a first time marathoner.... I'm sending all my good vibes... but that's a long morning before the race even started!

"Watching" NYC marathon online.. cannot imagine starting race at 11:30am when elite runners started at 8:30am!!

PR at a 10k race today!!! It was a fairly flat course. My friend ran the half marathon and I ran the 10k.
We had a successful day!

A6: For my last miles in a race, I keep telling myself I've run lots of "last miles"

A5: some songs on my playlist have been on there a long time! Some 80s and some disco that always keep me going!

A4: would like to find a 10k race for November and December.
Keep working on VO2 max!

A2: have had several 'get hurt and rehab' cycles! Was diagnosed with a torn labrum. Dr. Recommended that I stop running. Fortunately, physical therapy and strength training got me back running...

A1: always participated in running sports growing up but didn't start doing road races until about 1995. Been on and off again through the years... hoping to stay on now !

Oct 5 ... and warm enough to go in the water on this Long Island beach!

Did an 8.5 mile run/walk which is the longest I have run in a very long time. A run/walk half marathon in October is looking more likely!

These gave me my best time this year in a 10k! (Hard to believe it was after a swim and bike!)
Just started wearing Mizuno

Cannot stress enough how fun it is to run on the Chicago lakefront.πŸ˜€I used to get lost in the view and forget my planned turnaround point!!

Not quite a brag... but I must be feeling better about my running because I'm possibly thinking about doing a half marathon despite maxing out at 5 milers the last few months....(I would probably run/walk it..)

A6: I've been wearing Hoka the last 5 years.. but I hate that the treads wear out unusually fast. I may try Saucony again....

A5: long sleeves. And Anne a jacket. I've been using the same jacket for a long time- need a replacement.. been trying on all sorts of types but yet to find the "right" one yet! I also love wearing vests!!!
