Races Like a Girl

In honor of the throngs running the New York Marathon this morning, I offer up a couple of past posts.

Last year I went out and watched the elites fly by (or not) at mile 20 in the Bronx. Then, in April, I followed a couple of runners as they took on the hills of Boston using an “athlete tracker.” I won’t be watching the marathon from the curb this year, as I’ll be out doing my own training run.

And even though I should be back, watching live coverage by about 10AM, I won’t track runners I know, as it’s just too anxiety-provoking.
