This evening I did a live radio interview for Lucy-Jade Norris‘s program On Air with Lucy. In the interview, we talked about the recent NYC Replacement Marathon that I organized while briefly touching on my book Long-Form Improv.
Below is the wrap-up email I sent out to interesteds and participants in the NYC Replacement Marathon run at 8am on Sunday, November 4, 2012, in Central Park. The post below is slightly modified from the original email. UPDATED: 11/18/2012

Hi. My name is Ben Hauck. And I’m going to run a marathon on Sunday.
Not the ING NYC Marathon, because it’s been cancelled. Instead, I’m going to run one in Central Park.

Perhaps you’ll want to join me.
I’m just a guy. A guy who wants to run that day.
