Marathon thoughts
With the StanChart marathon just a few month from now, I've been trying hard to find time to get some training done. Having to attend night classes 5 days a week has put a spanner in my runs as I now have to run in the morning, which is not really my best time of the day. Muddynights is definitely not a morning person.
Having said that, the iconic New York Marathon kicks off on 2 Nov. The largest marathon in the world (with more than 37,000 marathon runners) covers all 5 boroughs of New York City which makes it a good tour of the city as well.
This year, a number of W hotels in New York are offering marathon deals, including carbo loading meals, a one night stay and foot massages. Wouldn't it be so nice to be pampered silly after a long gruelling marathon run?
I wonder if there any such deals for the StanChart run. Nothing to spur you to finish the run than fresh sheets and a full body massage in a posh hotel.
(And BTW, after gleefully spending some cash at Borders last week because of a 30% discount for members, now I receive another email saying there'll be a 40% discount for members. What? they want me to spend some more?)
