Comments: This is such a great website with lots of info about the NYC marathon. I also love the advice you give about the wall...
."Many people talk about the Wall. But remember that the wall is in only in your head. Of course you are getting very tired. But don't even think about dropping out. Tell yourself all the way that the only option is finishing!" -- Runar
Thank you so much!
Admin reply: Thanks for the nice words, Michele. I didn't see it before today...... It was great seeing you in Anaheim, and I hope to see you again, in New York and Anaheim! Good Luck in New York
Comments: Lots of great information in one place regarding the NYCM, great resource especially for first timers. The NYRR should link to this.
Thank you again!

Comments: Thank you Runar for all of your great tips and information regarding the NYCM. I'm a first timer who has dreamed of running this marathon for 5 years now...I am SO excited, and where I have never been to New York it is great to have a better idea of how the course is set up and hotel, and transportation information. Every thing was great. And LOVED reading the article about Grete with you in it, great story!
Admin reply: Thanks for the nice words. In fact I was in Canada on vacation when you wrote the post! Good Luck in New York

Comments: Hi Runar, thanks for being such a good NYC Marathon ambassador! I've noticed you answering questions for the first timers. I'm running my second NYC marathon this fall (last one was 2008). I was registered last year but Sandy cancelled that.... I loved your story about Grete from '78
Comments: I used to live in Konnerud - at Plutostien, I loved it very much and was very sorry to leave. I often look at your site to view Konnerud and Drammen and remember the many very happy times I spent there, its a nice place to be. Best wishes Neil
Admin reply: Plutostien is very close to my weather station!
