The NYC marathon has been on the short list of races I plan
to do for a while now. Rumor has it the
crowd support along the course rivals Boston – I’ll believe it when I see
it. There is no doubt something special
about New York City, a unique electricity that I feel every time I visit. I can only imagine the energy during marathon
weekend.
I entered the lottery months ago, when a fall marathon was
the last thing on my mind, and I was just hoping my hamstring strain would
allow me to shuffle the Eastern States 20 miler and finish the BAA 5k with a
decent time. Finally the weather started
to get warmer, my injury healed and Boston (marathon) came and went. I waited with bated breath on ‘opening day’
for the NYC Marathon to see if my lucky number was picked. It wasn’t.
Lucky for me some friends at ALF are willing to welcome me back to the
liver family with open arms and I am thrilled to part of the Liver Life
Challenge NY team.
There is a lot of work to do in the next six months. I plan to show up on race day healthy, strong
and ready to enjoy the ride but the journey to get there will be a tough
one. I also want to do the best I can to
support ALF and the great work they do fighting liver disease and educating
communities about liver health.
