When I was living in the east village, some of my favorite runs were over bridges. I found that it was a great way to vary my runs and loved the feeling of running over water. One run in particular that was always fun was running over the Manhattan bridge to Brooklyn and then back over the Brooklyn Bridge. No matter how tired I am, reaching the start of a bridge always gives me a surge adrenaline. I'm hoping as I'm running the marathon, that same surge happens with each bridge.
The five bridges on the New York Marathon course are the Verrazano Bridge at the start, the Pulaski Bridge at mile 13, Queensborough Bridge at mile 15, Willis Ave Bridge at 20, and Madison Ave Bridge at 21.
I'd love to try out the Queensborough before the actual race. Anyone interested?
me me!
