This is this blog's 100th post!
It's also Week One of training for the NYC Marathon. So far, I've modified the plan, rearranged the dates of runs, and run hung-over. Hardly an auspicious start. I've also discovered that if you want to listen to Latin Podcasts while on the run, a strong headwind or heavy traffic make it really difficult to make out the words.
Tuesday: 7.3 miles in 52:55 (7:15 pace) with 10X100 striders
Wednesday: 9.1 miles in 1:11:22 (7:51 pace)
Today: 4.15 miles in 31:20 (7:33 pace)
Today's run was along the Pulaski O&B, which is great because it's the middle miles of the marathon. And I get to imagine I'm hitting the halfway point, which is here...
Slightly before you get here...
And a long way before you get there...
Which is after you run along this bridge...
And you leave Brooklyn.

congrats on the century post!
and good luck with NYCM training...looks like you'll have an advantage in the middle miles, training on the course!!
Great job. What training program are you using? I'd love to run some of the course but don't know much about it except the Verazzano bridge and some of the Manhattan parts. Good luck.
Nice pics! Sounds like you are starting off your marathon training strong. Are you planning to train on more of the course?
I have always started marathon training with a day of rest ;) That way, there's nowhere to go but up.
There is nothing quite like the NYC Marathon, for a runner, as my wife was 7 times, or for a spectator like me.
My new legal thriller, "A Good Conviction," is set largely in Manhattan, has several scenes in Central Park, and features New York runners (a runner finds the body) and the NYC marathon, seen from the perspective of a spectator in four different locations.
Many NYC Marathon runners have told me how wonderful it is to read about their event and their city as part of an exciting novel.
"A Good Conviction" tells the story of a young man convicted of a murder he didn’t commit by a prosecutor who may have known he was innocent.
I invite you to consider “A Good Conviction” on amazon ...
