This morning I bit the bullet and signed up for my second marathon for this year, occurring just 2 weeks after the NYC Marathon!

Good luck with your training and we’ll see you in November!
I registered it because it was on my mind, getting a rather inexpensive entry was ending by week’s end and I feared forgetting, and I had a $5 coupon to use. All in all, it cost about $80 to sign up.
To do? Get a hotel room. Maybe get a train ticket. My friend Elizabeth Corkum is also running the Philadelphia Marathon and has a car and family there, so I may try to bum a ride. (Elizabeth, if you’re reading this, you’re forewarned!)
Cheers,
Ben
