That was my point. I didn't want to get into a whole rambling diatribe about it. I tried to be short. I would like to think that if the race ever fell on Yom Kippur that they would change the date of the race even though it's always held Columbus Day weekend.

I've also run long the day after YK and notice the difference. I'm not running Chicago this year. If I do run a fall marathon it will Marine Corps.

It longer than usual but my HR worked it's way back into zone 2 without too much work. I sent you a tweet but I wear a hydration belt on almost all of my long runs. I have the Amphipod Full Tilt 20/20. It has 2 20 oz. bottles. One I fill with Gatorade the other with water. I did some street carts in the park, there were also some on Central Park West just outside the park.

Matt,
You don't look forward to winter for same reason I don't look forward to Summer. Winter in Colorado is much harsher than in New York. Summers are hotter here than in Colorado.

Like I said, it's a personal preference. My asthma is much worse in hot and humid conditions. Breathing is hard and like I said in the blog post, every run is a struggle. I prefer running in colder temperatures.

Roy, you bring up an interesting point. When I tell people outside of the running community that I am training for a marathon the first question they always ask me is "how long is the race?" As if they are associating the word "marathon" with a road race race of any distance. When I tell them that all full marathons are 26.2 miles they always want to know the origin of the distance. Which as we know is the distance (well almost) Pheidippides ran from Marathon to Athens.

I still find it unusual that in most places we associate road races by their distances (5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon, etc...) but that's not the case in Hebrew.

Thanks for the comment. I ran NJM last and had a great experience. I'll be running Pocono in spring 2010. Let me know if you'll be there. I'd love to meet up.

Wow! Are you sure you're not me? My plan was also to run a half marathon on October 18 before I fractured my rib 2 weeks ago. My doctor advised me to let the pain dictate what I can and cannot do. I think my rib is healing. I'm in a lot less pain than I was 2 weeks ago. However, I'm still feeling somewhat short of breath which is another side effect of a fractured rib. I have decided to to scrap my half marathon on October 18 and let me rib fully heal before returning to running. I have 3 5ks ion my calendar of November that I fully expect to participate in. Hope this helps and thanks for commenting.

Congrats again on your tremendous accomplishment! Funny how Danielle giggles when she's on your show but can sing in front of hundreds of people with no problem.
