First time running the New York City Marathon 2022 vlog

- This is a video about my experience running the New York City Marathon in 2022. It was my first race ever, and tons of fun the whole way.
Two months before the marathon, I suffered a knee injury that prevented me from running for 2-3 weeks. I was worried because I didn't have the training mileage that you'd need to feel confident to complete a marathon. My longest training run was a 15-miler, so anything after mile 15 was uncharted territory for me.
After my injury, I spent a lot of time focusing on things I could control: diet, mindset, preparation, mobility, leg strengthening, and stretching. I think these all helped a ton!
Thanks to TCS New York City Marathon org for putting on an amazing event, and Team for Kids charity for sponsoring my entry.
Thanks for the inspiring video. At 71, I'm training for my 8th NYC Marathon and this video helps a lot. "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."
Enjoyed your race vlog! That's a fast time for your 1st race. I'm hoping to get lucky with the lottery this year. 0-3 already.
thank you Anthony!
If you don't get lucky with the lottery, then next year try entering the New York Road Runners "Virtual Marathon for Guaranteed Entry." If you complete that, you get guaranteed entry for the following year's marathon. You could also do charity fundraising or do the 9+1 program where you run nine qualifying New York Road Runners races and then volunteer for one race - and then get guaranteed entry to the following year's marathon. This marathon is so much fun -- it is worth trying all these methods to get in and run it. It is just fabulous.
