Plan B for this #LTM #bosslady (T – 19 days)

I’m keeping this week’s blog short and reaching out to you to help me with part of my race plan  😃  My latest series of little injuries have led to a slight change in plans and a serious attitudinal rethink.  As I now know I won’t be able to tackle this iconic marathon with my original plan, I’m going to have to rethink how I’m going to use my team’s #fierceandfearless & #bethestorm mantras to get this senior-master-slightly-injured body through a whole marathon.

I’ve had a couple of B-rated runs in the past couple of days, but Coach Erin had to remind me that this is actually the most my body should be feeling at this point in my training.  It’s great to have her bringing the reality check to my expectations😂

Check out some of my crew at the Valley Harvest Marathon this weekend (where I was a total bystander cheered!). Awesome performances by all and a serious PB buster by #LTM #bosslady Sarah! 

The good news of course, if I haven’t “spread” it yet (pun intended) is that being New York City bound baby, there will be plenty of inspiration for me to pull from.  I will be running through 5 boroughs and over 5 bridges, so this is where you come in!  I’ve received some great advice to date about this race, but I’m reaching out to my small social media world including my non-runners out there!

For those of you who have been, or those of you who are dreaming of going, what would be your best/funniest/craziest moments/wishes/sites for each one of the following?  OK, not expecting much input around the bridges….but I’m still putting this out there:). If you would prefer to PM me, that’s great to!

The boroughs:

Staten Island

Brooklyn

Queens 

The Bronx

Manhattan – finishing at Central Park

The bridges:

Verrazano-Narrows (at the start – straight up for a mile then straight down a mile)

Pulaski (at 21K)

Queensboro (at 25Kish apparently more than 2 miles long)

Wills Avenue (at 31Kish)

Madison Avenue (at 34 ish)

 I will be incorporating these….I promise!  On a side note, check out the 2019 #TCSNYC bling !
