I am working on earning my Abbott Six Star Medal by running all six World Marathon Majors. So far I have run New York City and Chicago. I was supposed to run Berlin in 2020 but that has been delayed to this year. After that I will have London, Tokyo, and Boston to complete.

I am working on earning my Abbott Six Star Medal by running all six World Marathon Majors. So far I have run New York City and Chicago. I was supposed to run Berlin in 2020 but that has been delayed to this year. After that I will have London, Tokyo, and Boston to complete. I will likely have to run Boston for charity as I am not a fast runner. All of this from the person who claimed to have absolutely no interest in running 26.2. Then I fell victim to the NYC Marathon hype video, lol! We truly are capable of so much more than we think we are. Sometimes one just needs to work their mind a little harder than their body in order to believe.
Stacy, congratulations and go for the honor of completing the 6 majors. Come down to South Africa and run the Cape Town Marathon (7th major!!!). I will be running the Chicago Marathon this year and hopefully will also complete the 6 majors in time.
I've seen that they are considering adding Cape Town as a WMM. It does look like a great race. Considering how hard it can be to get into London & Tokyo, it may be added before I can get all six, lol! You will love Chicago! It is a great city and and great race.
It was. I went with a friend and we spent a couple of days in Cape Town, and then drove to Durban, stopping in places like Stellenbosch, Oudtshoorn and Gqeberha along the way. We spent a night in Lesotho as well. It was just a blast.

Even watching NYC Marathon makes me want to run longer and faster...

Harish, are you in South Africa? (I've actually visited there, about 15 or so years ago... loved my time there!)
Terrel, I am in South Africa (Johannesburg). I hope your stay here was memorable.

I love all of this, Stacy. And I can relate to falling victim to the NYC Marathon hype -- it's intoxicating, isn't it? Love, love, love this.
