Today the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation 2010 ING NYC Marathon Team ran the final 10 miles of the official course in preparation for the race on November 7. The weather today was absolutely perfect! The sun was shining and thousands of tourists flooded New York City. The city was electric with hundreds of runners from all different teams out on the streets preparing for race day. The final leg of the race heads through the Upper East Side of Manhattan into the Bronx and back down through Central Park. There are many hills and inclines.
Coach Tom Holland was there to offer his knowledge and experience of marathon training and top performance on race day. I will be eating lots of salt and carbohydrates in the next 2 weeks.
I still have a good distance to go before meeting my fund raising goal and requirement. Thank you so much for your donation in my name. Please donate if you have not done so. It is very easy. There is not a better cause. I am working so hard to realize my goal!
10/13/10 - 16 miles starting in Summit through New Providence, Berkeley Heights & Gillette & back via Long Trail Road and River Road.
10/17/10 - 20 Miles starting in Bryant Park in Summit and climbed the hills up Mount View Road to Summit Ave to Morris Ave and then the standard 16 described above. This was a very difficult run as blisters became painful around mile 10. This won't happen again as I am back to my regular Asics running shoes.
