Yes! Well that's the idea, if I don't injure myself (I had a stress fracture in February, so I feel like I have to add that disclaimer). I loved reading about your experience running it last year; seems like such a great marathon, I can't wait!

You should try some from one of the sidewalk vendors—I've been getting them for $2, and they've been REALLY ones, too!

haha! Well it's not usually about candy, if that's what you're thinking—hate to disappoint. It's generally about overpriced clothes and stuff... But sometimes they talk about restaurants and cool food companies and stuff! http://www.dailycandy.com/a...

Re: Recovery?

Laurel B — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:22:43 -0000

Yeah, I agree with MC—probably only a few days since you're in good shape. I mean, I know people who run again like 3 days after a marathon; it just depends on what kind of shape you're in and if you WANT to run again. Running a little this week could help, too. I personally think it's fine to completely stop running for a few weeks if you want. When I start running again after a break, I don't find it especially hard—I find it new and fun again!

What I suggest and I personally will do... find a training schedule (Hal Higdon is my man), see when that'll have you start training (prob early June), and make sure you're running a decent amount (maybe 15 miles or so/week) for the 3 or 4 weeks leading up to that. (So if you have no base, you'll obviously want to start building up even earlier than that.) Actually I just looked at what Hal says for novice marathoners: "You should be able to comfortably run distances between 3 and 6 miles. You should be training 3-5 days a week, averaging 15-25 miles a week."

I can talk nonstop about marathons, and you know where to find me whenever you wanna chat! :)

If I attended a wedding that used this as the entrance song for the wedding party, I would think it's the coolest wedding ever.

Re: An hour with a trainer the day after St. Patty’s Day?

I don't get it, man... Any time I've worked out with a trainer, I've been completely DEAD afterward... like, running 5 miles would not be an option!

Hey, Katie! I'll totally let you know when I'm venturing to Brooklyn for coffee. Would be fun to meet you. Also, agreed: Excited for iced-coffee weather!

This is Laurel (Midwesterner in Manhattan/Run on empty—not sure how my comment from earlier showed up to you)... anyway, thanks for your e-mail—I gave it to my friend, so he might be getting in touch. His name's Ignacio. Hope it works out. And hope your injury gets better soon!

The last Friday night when my roomie was on a date and I was home alone, I sat on the couch with my cat and made up a song called "Cat Time." :)

I hate running with a water bottle. I don't carry one during marathon training—I just know where there are water fountains in Central Park and along the West Side Highway. I did have to carry one whilst training for Boston, though, because the fountains are all turned off in the winter—lame-o!
