Hi Lauren,

I’m sorry about about losing your dog, my wife and I have a dog that we adore. It sounds like you have had a rough go of it recently. Although I’m running Long Island for a second time next weekend, I enjoyed New Jersey more, the course was more picturesque and the crowd support was much better. I also recommend Philly, I enjoyed that race as well and want to go back.

Was ready and set to run Philly..my beloved dog died, Then the Manhattan Half…snowstorm couldn’t get into city, then was picked in lottery for NYC Half…12 stitches in my head…then finally had qualified for Boston (after 10 marathons) didn’t go due to heat!!! Which marathon do you prefer NJ or LI? Am more than prepared and need to actually, finally run a marathon this year!!

Hi Frank, yes, I think you are right about the situation you describe. It is probably innocent on behalf of the walkers/slow runners. An effort needs to be made to inform everyone that they should line up according to their expected pace. Perhaps 3 starting lines far enough apart to allow for lining up of slow, medium and fast runners? In any event, I agree with your assessment of the situation…
