Ready? Nope. Set! Wait, I’m taking pictures!

I completed the NYRR 9+1 Program in 2013 to run the 2014 New York City Marathon.

My first mistake was running my first and only 18 miler a week before the marathon.

My second mistake was arriving at the starting gate so late that the Verrazano Bridge was already closed for cleaning after the last marathoner crossed into Brooklyn.

I hitched a ride into Manhattan, then backtracked into Brooklyn. I ran an eighteen mile marathon.

I’m starting the whole process again in 2016 to run a 26 mile marathon in 2017. Let’s try this again #persistence
