You do run down the west side highway which can be windy, you should be fine. In all my years of living/running in NYC, I've never had the wind blow my hat off, so hopefully you won't either!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227491068964684084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-64591876715268301012017-02-28T23:07:43.652-05:002017-02-28T23:07:43.652-05:00It totally makes sense that you're a little ne...It totally makes sense that you're a little nervous, but you're going to do great! My biggest piece of advice is to follow what's worked for you before and just have fun! I'm so bummed to have to take a pass this year. Hopefully the spring-like temps will continue for you.

I agree that the changing temperatures before a race freak me out. I found myself totally freaked out before Disney because the weather was something soooooo different than anything I had trained in! Even worse...once I got to Orlando, it was worse than I expected and had to make some more changes to my outfit. As for sunglasses, I bring them often on runs not knowing if I'm going to need them or not. I find when I push them up on my head that I don't even notice that they are there. Totally agree about them protecting your eyes in the wind, it stinks when your eyes are tearing from the wind.
