Same here. We have sidewalks but I do all my running on trails. One road/ crosswalk to go through and I can run right up to marathon distance without ever having to worry about a car. Now cyclists are a different story!
ok, I was right when I was sitting there thinking of your dis screen name!
Glad you are okay! I mostly run on rural roads with no sidewalks. Speed limits are low, but I’ve had my share of distracted drivers and ones that are dangerous on purpose. I’ve had cars drive straight at me or slow down and then do burnouts right next to me
That's so cool! When I was in grad school I did a research assistantship with our space history professor and we went to all the old launch areas. It was amazing, and the Apollo 1 pad especially was such a somber experience. I also had a summer internship at the KSC headquarters building, and that was during the Columbia investigation, and we were allowed to go see the hangar where they had all the wreckage gridded out and there were engineers there to explain what had happened to the orbiter. It was so surreal seeing the window frames completely intact, as well as the tires.
Later, when I worked at the Visitor Complex, we got to do a tour of the current Atlas facilities, including going up in their assembly building. I really miss working out there! But they paid peanuts for tour guides. 
Great job with your easy training run and congratulations to your husband for his first half! I'm the last person to give advice about anxiety seeing as how I only get around 3-4 hours of sleep for most of my runDisney events even though I take it extremely easy for them because I'm running with my daughter. It doesn't seem to matter no matter what. Nonetheless, just keep in mind that you're an amazing runner and this is just your hobby, so go have some fun.
From the interwebs (so it must be true): The New York half marathon has a time limit of three hours. Participants that cannot maintain a pace of 13:45 throughout the race will be picked up starting at mile 7.5 and transported to the finish.
I ran at 48 degrees when I got home from work yesterday. It was dark and I wore full length tights, a long sleeve thermal shirt and gloves. I was about a minute/mile slower than expected and had broken out in an extensive cold rash when I got home. I guess YMMV under these conditions.Today when I ran it was 47 degrees and sunny and GLORIOUS. I wore shorts and a long sleeve shirt and pushed up the sleeves by mile two. I was about 45 seconds faster than usual and my overall heart rate was lower.
And then while I worked, I wore sweatpants, a spirit jersey, cape, and a blanket.
Nice! Ran in 2018 and 2019, super fun getting to run on the Manhattan Bridge and through Times Square. It is hilly, though, so be prepared. I think it's a 3hr cutoff after the last runner starts? Looking at the volunteer opportunities, medal distribution goes until 12:30p. Have fun and enjoy!
I am currently wearing 2 layers of fleece under a down blanket, and have a warm cat cuddled up next to me for warmth… it’s 68* in my house.Today when I ran it was 47 degrees and sunny and GLORIOUS.

Last time I ran, it was 58* and I was in full tights, jacket over a tee, ear cover, and gloves. I did take the gloves off after the first 1.5 miles, though. I’m happy it’ll be warming up into the mid-70s later because I really, really hate running in layers!
Apparently I hate cold in all situations but running! I get really hot while I run.I am currently wearing 2 layers of fleece under a down blanket, and have a warm cat cuddled up next to me for warmth… it’s 68* in my house.

I don't often do 100+ mileage months
