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.

Fireworks will be in Central Park around 7:15 pm on Friday, near what will become the Marathon finish line. In honor the ING New York City Marathon, the Empire State Building will glow orange, blue and white on Saturday, November 5th, the night before the marathon. The NYRR club runs a Runner Information Hotline on race day. If you can't find your runner after the race, call 800.496.6193 and enter his or her race (bib) number for an update.

I wore my new running shoes over the weekend to wear them in a bit and then again today for a short run. I probably won't make the recommended 50 miles in them before the marathon, but they are already comfortable and so I should be well used to them (and still quite well cushioned) by then.
