Hey Derek!
I just discovered your show and this is the first episode I have listened to. I HAD to leave a comment because I agree with you 100% about New York Marathon. It is a tricky little beast. I want to run it, I really do, but I hate New york City. I have run a NYRR race before (NYC Half Marathon) and they did a great job, but I really do not like the city. I thought I was the only one that didn’t like NY. And it is not because I don’t like big cities, I am from Philadelphia area and I hang out and race in the city all the time. I just don’t know that I could tolerate getting around on race morning and waiting around at the start and finding my way around to the expo and all that. Plus I heard the finish line is crazy crowded.
But despite all of this complaining…I am sure I will one day probably run it anyway.
Thanks for the show and keep running strong!
Bill
