So this has been a challenging couple days watching to see if the marathon will still go on after Sandy. That concern pales in comparison to the people who were enduring it in person and first responders out there saving lives during and after the storm. This includes the people of North Shore Animal League, my chosen race charity, who stayed behind to care for the pets of those who had evacuated.
With the city getting back to normal, there was a big question on whether the race could go on without the usual transportation options. Well, apparently the race will go on regardless. This is good news, but I still have to get to NYC and right now LaGuardia (where my flight is supposed to land) is still not operational. Early estimates look like Thursday evening they will start up again. This bodes well for me, our flight is Friday evening. After that, I suppose we could cab it everywhere if the subway is down...or take some combination of cabs and subway to get where we need to go. And then of course getting to Staten Island for the start on Sunday morning might be an epic journey in itself.
All that to say, IT'S ON, we'll figure it out, and I'm ready!
