NYC Marathon

Marathon
$8.99
I bought this CD a few months ago when I found the piece "Beyond An Ocean" which is an amazing song. I had honestly never heard of this group and the entire CD is just outstanding. I keep revisiting it and relistening to it for I love their sound and songs.

Went ahead and bought Buddy (another CD by them) but didn't enjoy it nearly as much.

Love their originality and sound!

The Essential Guide to Running the New York City Marathon
$14.95
This is hardly a training must-read but it sure was a blast to read if you're looking at NYC as an upcoming must-do marathon.

I particularly enjoyed the spectator section and how the author recommended the best mile markers to view from. I bought a used copy and the previous owner made some notes in the margins regarding his/her own personal experiences with both the hotel and restaurants chosen.

It's interspersed with fun trivia and prior race stats.

The mile-by-mile description of the race itself was well written.

Certainly this book will motivate and inspire a runner or two.

Definitely worth the $5 investment.
