The NYC Insider's guide to the NYC running is inspired by the thoughts and experiences of a New Yorker who has run the NYC Marathon twice and is now training for 5 Half Marathons - one in each of the five boroughs.

Early Influences
Back in the 1970s, when the sport of running was relatively young, I remember two local runners whose very different experiences with running had a long-lasting effect on me. A man, Rick Bayliss, owned a running shop and was well-known as a leader in area races. A woman, Janet Scott, was raped during one of her jaunts on a lonely road. The local media coverage was sensationalist and I remember my frustration with the unfairness of it all.
