Rain!

Since the weather has been a bit wet here in Pa recently, I've come to grips with the fact that this will not be a fast race. New York is notorious as a slow course, both because of the sheer volume of runners (usually around 40k) and the sharp turns which clog up as many recreational runners lack courtesy and common sense. I think I'll be setting out to enjoy the race for its atmosphere and spectacle, rather than trying to set a PR. This, coupled with school starting back up and working the two jobs should keep me rather busy, and from training uber-hard (which would be necessary to run a Boston-qualifying time.

Also, I would like to add that any donations made to the Jordan Thomas Foundation through the links at right are tax-deductible, as the Foundation is a 501 (c) 3-level organization. More information is available here. Jordan passes along his best wishes, and we both sincerely thank each and every one of you who reads and supports the cause!
