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.

Can't Wait Until Next Year
I surprised myself with pangs of regret that I wasn't running the NYC Marathon yesterday. Memories of the pain of running a year ago are still relatively fresh (whenever I get even a little blister now, I am reminded of the golfball-sized blisters I got on marathon day -- and never even noticed because my knee hurt so badly until I got home and took off my shoes!). But when I woke up and heard the radio reports about street closures and the like, I remembered the excitement of the day and the feeling of invincibility when I finished ("if I can finish 26.2 miles in excruciating pain, I can do anything"). At a youth football game, a friend received email alerts as her loved ones passed critical milestones, and I was reminded clearly of how it felt to pass the 5K, 10K, 15K and 20 mile markers. I really am getting excited about running it again next year!
