Brandon, I have a race report for ya. On Oct 25th I completed my first Half Marathon called the Halloween Half in Jensen Beach Florida. I wanted to finish in 2-2.5 hrs and I completed the race in 2hrs 8 min to come in 6th place in my age group 30-34. What an amazing feeling. I am now hooked on longer races instead of doing the 5 and 10k’s. I am running another Half in Nov and will attempt my first marathon in Feb. Maybe we can meet up at next years NYC marathon. I would love to run it. When can you apply for the lottery to get in that race? Take care, Jaydog.
Jay,
The lottery opens this coming Monday, November 2! Here is the link: http://www.nycmarathon.org/entrantinfo/apply.htm
Hey Brandon – Great podcast as always. I love hearing your thoughts/comments about the NYC marathon because it gets me a little more excited to run.
Just one quick thing. Since you asked, the time qualifications for NYCM is 2:55 in the Open Division (18-39) for the men and 3:23 for the women. You can also qualify via half-marathon times (Men – 1:23; Women – 1:37). My PRs are only about 1:30 slower than half marathon NYQ and 7:30 slower than full marathon NYQ…that’s why I know these things (Don’t hate me for it, please!)
Sorry I won’t be able to make your Newton clinic because it conflicts with work (but I did give you a shoutout on my latest blog post!)
Anyway, hope to see you on the sidelines this weekend! So freakin’ excited now! Take care!
great podcast as always! it was a blast to be able to watch it live and interact. My training is going well for my ultra and my races before. keep it up!
