Maybe I can run NY instead?

Really struggling with the thought of not running a marathon this year. I’ve had my mind set on it for what feels like an eternity and I really want to do it.
Have run the same distance and more as a half marathon a number of times during my training so it’s not really a challenge. Of course I could challenge myself time wise, but I want to complete a marathon, this year, not wait a year.
Looked at the World Marathon Majors and NY is on the 2nd of November. That should be far enough away, time wise that is, for my leg to heal and it should give me lots of time for training. Spoke to Alex in work who’s run NY twice and London once and she said NY was better though hillier.
Will look into it tomorrow and see if I can get a place. Never been to NY and Dion and I have been talking about going there anyway this year so why not combine the fun :D
All of a sudden I feel a bit happier!
