What’s your why?

Last year, a couple of friends and I decided to run the 2023 NYC Marathon. The race is scheduled for November 5th. We’re a colorful bunch of amateur runners: most of us were already running previously, two friends have run a couple of marathons, and another friend has run 30K weekly for ages. One of us had never run before.
