New York City Marathon

Home » blogs » tenacity's blog

The lottery results for the New York City Marathon were posted today and the result is that I will not be running in the marathon.

However, I will be doing the Mount Desert Island marathon in Maine on October 17. Part of me was hoping that I wouldn't get in to NYC because the MDI marathon is billed as "the most scenic sporting event in the country."

It should be a great experience, and I really need to get off of my ass and step up the training! The MDI marathon is a very hilly course!

Yeah, I've been meaning to ask how that training was going.

So how's that training going?

Not really as well as I'd like. I haven't felt like venturing out in the dark yet and most days it's been just too hot in the sun. I think I need to get up two hours earlier and get in a quick 5 miles before work, then long runs on the weekend.

Or, I just need to suck it up and run in the heat with a lot of water.

Or, I could just go at night anyway even if I don't want to.
