Running the NYC Marathon 2007

So, I am into this thing again this year. As was well covered here last year, I ran the marathon in 2006. In what started out as a lark, the preparation and completion of the race was intense and fun. I'll try to cover it a bit here. Like last year, my run was also used to raise money for the Children's IBD Center at Mount Sinai. Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are the most common chronic and serious gastrointestinal disorders affecting children. You can donate here. In the past year I've logged over 1200 miles and gone through 4 pairs of Brooks sneakers. In 2007 I ran 14 races to keep sharp and just began to think about the 2007 NYC Marathon this week. There is about 100 days to go until race-day. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out. Tim O'Brien
