So I’ve been doing research on NYC marathons. Reading and watching videos and I’ll say this….. This video made me cry, your strength and determination are second to none. She said there’s a medal waiting for me and I’m gunna go get it. That’s damn right!!! YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION!!!

I agree. I am running NYC 2023 in less than a month and just looking at videos and getting all hyped up. You are so cute, Lexie!! I love your smile. I watched this while running on my treadmill and was smiling (and crying - I don’t recommend that part) along with you. You’re amazing!! Your perseverance and attitude are an inspiration. Way to go!! Congratulations!!!

Im in the middle of my training and jist wanted to say you are such an inspiration. I was crying throughout your video. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being you.

I'm binging a bunch of NYC Marathon videos, as my partner just got in so I'm flying over to support but I can tell you something, as excited as I am to watch him speed his way through the 26.2 miles and be super proud of him I CANNOT WAIT to also head back out onto the streets and cheer on the back of the packers who run at speeds like me, and be in awe of you all managing the distance!! I'm tearing up to your video, I just adore the people like you who surround me at races (No way am I ready for 26 miles, I'm still on the 10K distance lol!) - what a celebration!!

We need more stories like this! Congratulations! You persisted! You're amazing! You won!

The NYC Marathon has a more generous cut-off time than any other marathon I have done. The official cut-off time for the NYC Marathon this year was 8:30 p.m. Wave 5, the last wave, started at 11:30 a.m., so that gives nine hours to finish the race. Chicago cuts off at six and a half hours. NYC is very generous.

I was DONE around 10k, then I got a second wind there. about 8 minutes: I remember that "you have stamina, call me" sign! Hilarious. They didn't leave a number though!!! 12:28- 13 miles... knew I was done! That was a hard several moments thinking "what do I do now... can't just walk away! And if I'm walking away, why not just keep walking forward instead?" 14:08 - Lightheaded, Yes. And feet feel like they are just exploding in the shoes. BUT -- you are wrong! Coming off the Queensboro bridge you FEEEEEEEEEEEEL The Crowds! Not just hear! I can't believe how loud that was. Unreal. 16:00ish - I don't remember ANYTHING from about miles 18-20. Nothing. None of that looks familiar. The Lightheaded is REAL! 20-21: You finished! AMAZING!!!! I didn't record nothing, but I'm pretty sure I may have reacted very much the same way.

@cathynewyork7918

Жыл бұрын

She is right -- this year at the NYC Marathon, there was a terrible back-up with the buses taking people from the ferry to the start area. If you do this NYC Marathon, do what I do -- choose the option of the chartered marathon buses from the NY Public Library at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue. You get on the bus at the library, and get off at the marathon start. No mid-trip transfer from ferry to bus. If you're accepted in the marathon, a month or two after acceptance they will email you to tell you to log in and choose which option you want, the library bus or the ferry. There will be various departure times to choose from. Go earlier rather than later to be sure you have enough time. If you want to see the ferry-bus mess yourself, go to the channel "Christian Runs NY" and watch the last few minutes of his video entitled "I couldn't finish the NYC Marathon." He shows and talks about the ferry-bus problem, and said many runners missed their start wave.
