I thought I'd try a post here at traxee. Tomorrow I'm going to try to join up with a group of about 60 barefoot runners who are running 8 miles from Central Park in Manhattan, over the Queensboro bridge, and then to a bookstore in Brooklyn.
I can't run the whole way so I'm going to join them for a couple of miles, then take the subway to the party at the end.
I tried to get someone to come with me, but it looks like I'm going to have to get there on my own. I feel a little nervous about that. I have to find the subways up to the event, then I can't run the whole way with them, so I'll have to walk a bit, maybe even up to a mile more after I stop running to get to a subway where I can travel to the bookstore. I just spent the past half hour looking at three interactive maps trying to see how I'm going to manage the mechanics of it. I had to use mapmyrun to see how far I'd be if I stopped at various points and where the nearest subway would be to that point etc... I had to use an interactive subway map to see how close the stops are to the beginning and end of the race.
Here's a link to the event:
