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.

I'll have to admit that walking 30+ flights of stairs really did me in for more than a week. Boy did my calves burn!! And just as my muscles were starting to feel better, I strained my right calf muscle again getting ready to ski. But I did get down the slopes a bit over 3 days, went for a walk the day I didn't ski, and now I'm ready to run again!

My big goal this year is to run at least 5 half marathons - one in each of NYC's five boroughs. I had planned the first one for last month, but somewhat disappointingly, it snowed the morning of the race and between the cold and the snow and the early dark of the day, I bugged out, knowing that it is likely that I'll have better for my second Manhattan attempt: the More/Fitness Half Marathon in April. So I read another runner's perspective of training and race day surprises with some interest. Here's a link so you can read it, too.
