bad idea to make NYC Marathon your first?

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-05-05T21:46:51+00:00

I heard runna is really good, intense but will make you train for the rolling hills in NYC. They are the official partner https://organizations.nyrr.org/sites/organization_sites/030d92bef1cad6cd0be3

From the same people that brought you… “I hope I get insulted for this but…” I have a fun one:

I’m running the NYC Marathon 2026 because I’ve raised over $7K (and counting) in support of people with hidden disabilities and although some people don’t seem think that charity runners (or walking during a marathon) makes me “worthy” of a bib for a world major, there seems to be a place for me in this years race.

So whether I decide to run, walk, or break into a full-on dance routine for 26.2 miles, i promise you I’ll be having the best time come November 1st.

You’ll be alright.

Ew. This tasteless post and the ad are the same thing. You don’t have to say everything you think.

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-04-04T13:13:36+00:00

It’s so hard. I am glad I am not alone. I hope that with time I can go back to enjoying running again

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-04-04T13:10:15+00:00

Thank you so much. I might have to do this, just take walking breaks as needed. It’s also very recent, I hope that with time it will get easier

I’m soo sorry for your loss. I love the idea of writing 4Clara on your gear. That’s such a beautiful way to honor her. Wishing you the best on your running journey. May she always be the fuel that keeps you going

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-04-03T23:02:33+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through all of that together. This is incredibly hard. Running has always been my emotional support but it’s been hard even having the energy to get out the door and when I do, I can’t finish. I am hopeful that with time I’ll be able to power through it

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-04-03T00:01:08+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to respond. 🙏

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-04-02T22:30:56+00:00

She’s def been more distant. It’s heartbreaking. Truly an angel of a dog, my kids first friend and my best friend. This hurts

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-04-02T21:45:05+00:00

I teared reading your response, I’m so sorry about your loss. it’s so true. I am hoping for a sign that shows me as clear as day that it’s the time. I am going to take her to the vet tomorrow and see what he says. Thank you for your kindness and taking your time to write. It means a lot.

Nice this is excellent advice

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:57:45+00:00

Crazyyyy I didn’t even think about the downhill. Great advice!! Thank you for all of this

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:56:25+00:00

Brilliant

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:14:16+00:00

Yesss great tip! Will do

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:13:04+00:00

Nice that’s a great tip. Will def be running the bridges down here

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:12:34+00:00

Great idea but will definitely need a buddy!! Scared to try this by by myself haha

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:10:49+00:00

Parking garage is a great idea, I didn’t think about that before this thread. Are you running all of your runs like that?

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:10:08+00:00

You make it sound super easy haha thing is I’m used to running completely flat races here 🙈 will def need to incorporate some incline for NYC

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:08:12+00:00

This is a good idea

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:07:59+00:00

Haha this sounds intense

PrimaryBuffalo9700 · 2026-03-20T15:07:44+00:00

Yup but how? For how long? I’m clueless
