We are a little more than a month away from the running of the 40th ING NYC Marathon. One of the many special moments surrounding the marathon are the experiences for first time runners. A local NYC guide (LX.TV) features a series of short videos on how running has shaped each of the participants lives, driving forces bringing them to their first ING NYC Marathon and the challenges faced in preparation. One of the participants, Ben Simmons (an excellent runner with a prosthetic leg), I regularly see in races and on the weekends in Central Park. The vignettes are similar to the Nova Marathon Challenge, but with an emphasis on the charitable causes supported by each runner. Below is a link to the videos. Enjoy.
