As the New York City Marathon approaches (November 1st), the NY Times looks back at the first one in 1970 through the eyes of Steve Pusztay, who says on that day he was “just trying not to die,” He told them, “After I finished. I swore I would never run another marathon again.” And then he went on to run 47 more (but never returned to the one in Central Park).





Great story. Training for and running a marathon can be a life changing experience. Here's to all the new runners in november!
I had knee surgery a month ago (meniscus tear, either from running or Muay Thai) and I will (finally!) be able to run again in November.
Obviously, I won't be running a marathon anytime soon, but I can't wait to cheer people on from the on-ramp of the Queensboro!
