Only realising now what the thread title refers to, because of the reference to it in skyblue's thread.
Good luck on Sunday. Moderator: Television, Psychology and Dublin County North.

Best of luck, hope you enjoy it. I remember someone telling me not to get carried away when we came out of the Queensboro bridge at 16 miles - the bridge is really quiet and there’s so many people outside that it feels like the finish line but there’s still 10 miles to go. So last year I made sure I took it easy and ended up passing most of the people who legged it out of the bridge
Make sure to get your Dunkin Donut hat at the start area as well. Good luck! 0 -

NYC Week 10 of 10 cont.
Nearly there...
Thu 1 Nov
5.7k easy. Dropped off car in Santry for some body repairs and jogged home. Crisp evening, feeling zippy.
Fri 2 Nov
No running. Travel day with FBOT and Mrs Mc, then stayed the night with old friends in New Jersey. Lovely dinner with plenty of pasta, and off to bed.
Sat 3 Nov
5.8k easy. Up early after a fairly decent night’s sleep by my low standards. Headed out with Anna through the West Orange suburbs for a few pre-dawn miles. Damp and quite warm. Lots of leaves on the ground but no accidents.
Then it was into the city, stopping first at the expo. Hardest part was finding the entrance. Number collection was very efficient, just a few minutes and no queues, despite this being the world’s biggest marathon, with 50,000 runners expected. Clockwork. The merchandising operation was just as slick, and I treated myself to an official jacket. Very upbeat and friendly vibe everywhere. Didn’t spend long though, anxious to get off the feet. Our generous NJ friend had driven us in and then took us on to the hotel where again, we were checked in quickly and efficiently. Lunch with M and A, then a quick drugstore visit for some snack bars and last-minute essentials.
And here we are. Many thanks for the good wishes, which are appreciated as always. Ready and hopefully able.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
