It’s that time again. Time to get things off my chest with Marcia’s Runfessions at Marcia’s Healthy Slice…
1. I RUNfess…
I am addicted to buying running tops. Most of the race shirts don’t fit so…
I had to buy this one for my Thanksgiving race.
There may have been some other half price shirts in my cart, too.
2. I RUNfess…
All the excitement about the NYC Marathon did give me FOMO.
So much so that I am thinking of signing up for 2023.
I have until until February to come to my senses.
3. I RUNfess…
One reason to run it in 2023 is that I age up and my time from a 2022 NYRR half marathon would give me a guaranteed entry.
4. I RUNfess…
If I do run it in 2023 (and that’s a big IF) and if I finish faster than 5:30 (a bigger IF but my 2019 time was 5:29), I could run it again in 2024.
memories from 2019
I have two friends interested in running it in 2024 too.
More FOMO.
5. I RUNfess…
Nevertheless, I will be getting my NYC running fix with these two races:
another bucket list race checked off
Hopefully it will be a healthy re-do of 2019
Hooray for points and FREE hotel rooms.
Racing is not a cheap sport!!

I am loving your thought process about running NYCM. I’d say if you have a guaranteed entry you should go for it!

You crack me up! That is how I was about my running shoes. Now I rarely buy them like I used to. I agree with Marcia, go for it!

Wow, I did not realize those were the cut off times for the NYC marathon! I hope you get to run the NYC half again as well. That race will always be one of my favorites! Have a great weekend!

It was so fun sharing the experience with you. I am running the half… not sure about another full.

I have plenty of FOMO about both Chicago and NYCM, but nope, no marathons for this old runner! I’ll just cheer you on! Go for it!

I like your thinking about NYCM – can’t wait to see what you decide to do! You’ve got some fun races planned for NYC. I’d love to do another NY race.

I LOVE that shirt! But I would need it in a very light, mesh tank top for my Turkey Trots (somehow I’m guessing they don’t make it in that style!)
I agree- that’s a tough decision about NYC. If you signed up and didn’t run it could you defer your entry? It might be worth it to sign up, train, and see what happens.

I can defer and pay $300 twice.
I bet there are turkey trot tanks.

Yup. And for me it’s also calf sleeves. I’m staying near Times Square.

Luckily my running tops do fit — it’s the bottoms I have trouble with right now.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

It’s the unisex race ones. I give them to the hubby.

Yes, you should GO FOR IT with NYCM 😉 YOU probably know I want to do one more marathon (at least, LOL)…I mean, I’m sitting at nine right now, why not finish with ten 26.2’s done, right? I just need to find the “right” one. And, some uninjured running would be a perk.
