I hope, I hope, I hope!!
I ran 7.3 miles tonight! Leg had a little trouble, but it was the best it’s been (during AND after) since I started having trouble!!
Almost finished packing to leave for the Big Apple! So exciting! NYC psted this women’s preview: http://www.letsrun.com/news/2013/10/013-new-york-city-marathon-womens-preview-wins-600000-epic-clash-edna-kiplagat-priscah-jeptoo/ which lists all of the “elites” that have been invited. Note there are just 14 Americans listed here, and just 37 total (international + USA). It’s smaller than in years previous. It still is unbelievable to see my…

Yes, I know, I shouldn’t be scheduling this on an work-day afternoon… but I specifically stayed until past 8pm one evening and 10pm another to make this happen, not…

I woke up 2:15 to race time, quickly dressed, and headed down to the hotel’s continental breakfast. It’s pretty cool to see so many runners congregated in one spot :). Breakfast was great,…
