I’m Abi Ayres, and I started my trip to NYC as a total nonrunner. Two weeks later, I’m at the NYC Marathon. Well – as a spectator, obviously. What am I, a superhero?! But that doesn’t mean I’m never going to run a marathon myself. In fact, by getting to know all sorts of NYC runners, I started to understand why they love such a painful, exhausting, chafehappy sport.

I even signed up for my first marathon, the Every Woman’s Marathon in Savannah, GA on November 16, 2024, with one my new running friends. The best part? We want you to join us! https://everywomansmarathon.com/
