How To Cheer On (& Feed) Your NYC Marathon Runner

October 28, 2014 by Lisa Leave a Comment

Wondering where or how to cheer on your favorite NYC Marathon Runner(s)?

The NYC Marathon is 6 days away! I cannot wait. I’m planning out my day so that I can cheer Joseph on. Joseph will be running with his best friend Julio (or as Norrin calls him “Uncle Julio”). It’s Julio’s 9th marathon and Joseph’s first. This is a big moment for them both and one worth celebrating.

The goal is to be able to cheer them on at 2 different locations before meeting Joseph close to the finish line. I’ve never been to the marathon before, so this will be interesting especially since I’ll be with Norrin. I’ll probably be rolling solo, so navigating the New York City crowds may be tricky but I’m going to try my best.

I’ve been supporting Joseph along this journey and I am so proud. I am amazed by his persistence to go out and run even on days when he comes home from work dog tired. I will probably cry at some point.

So how am I preparing to cheer my Marathan Man on…I read this article on best places to watch the race. Then I printed out the course map. I just downloaded TCS NYC Marathon mobile app so I can track Joseph’s progress throughout the day. It’s cool because I can track up to 10 runners for free! And I will also use the FOLR app to monitor Joseph’s location.

I created this badge to share via social media because I want everyone to know that I am supporting a marathon runner.


Finally I want to make sure Joseph is fueled up and ready to run. This means: PASTA PASTA PASTA!

I put together this Pasta Pinspiration board of tasty, easy to make pre marathon meals.

Instagram post 2181675747075400220_20602182 When I graduated with an MFA, I knew I wanted to teach at the college level. Having the opportunity to return to my alma mater as an adjunct lecturer is truly a gift. And my long term goal is to get my PhD so that I may continue a career in academia. I know it’s a white dominated field and I have to bring my own chair to the table. But I have a right to sit at the table. I have the brains, the determination and the passion. And I deserve equal pay. Salary should not be determined by ethnicity or gender. “Each day that a Latina is not paid fairly is one day too many, and the impact of losing even one cent has real consequences for Latinas and our families.” #latinaequalpay

Instagram post 2180853669707287687_20602182 Some days are for red lips and a dope fit... other days are for sleeping till noon, Yogi Calm tea, cuddled up on the sofa in an old cardigan and sweats, grading papers trying to ignore the parade in my head.
Instagram post 2180745009056316697_20602182 I just said this the other day... I feel so much better - physically, emotionally, spiritually - about myself now at 44 than I did at 24. I When I was in my 20s and 30s I used to think of 40 as “old” but it’s not. In so many ways my life is just beginning. I’m not where I want to be but I am hopeful. Although I don’t know what’s next. I do know that I have enough. I do enough. I am enough. And as long as I keep doing the next right thing, the right things will happen. 🪁

Instagram post 2179558141006674811_20602182 It feels really good to be the keeper of my own life. I’m not waiting for things to happen, I’m taking charge and designing the life I want to live. 💛 @shegoeswithgratitude ・・・
You are the keeper of your life.  Only you can determine what, when, and how you do things.  Be the curator of your own life; design it well. ⠀
