When Did the NYC Half Actually Happen? A Tale of Delayed Gratification
So, you're wondering when the NYC Half Marathon was in 2023, huh? Well, let's clear this up once and for all.
Spoiler Alert: It's Over!
If you're reading this after, let's say, April 2023, then you're a little late to the party, champ. The NYC Half Marathon is not exactly a surprise event. It's like a really big, sweaty street party that everyone knows about beforehand.
When Was This Glorious Event, Then?
The NYC Half Marathon for 2023 took place on Sunday, March 19th. That's right, folks. It was a beautiful spring day (or at least we hope it was for the runners; for the rest of us, it was probably just another Sunday).
Did You Miss Out? Don't Panic!
If you blinked and missed the sign-ups, or if running 13.1 miles sounds more like a punishment than a hobby, don't worry. There's always next year. And the year after that. And the year after that... You get the idea.
Tips for Next Year
- Start training now: Even if the next NYC Half is months away, it's never too early to start building up that endurance. Or at least that's what they say.
- Set a realistic goal: Don't aim to beat Usain Bolt on your first try. Start small, dream big.
- Find a running buddy: Misery loves company, right? Plus, someone to complain to about sore muscles is always helpful.
How to...
- How to stay motivated: Find a running playlist that makes you feel like a superhero.
- How to prevent injuries: Listen to your body. If something hurts, stop.
- How to fuel your body: Carbs are your friend, but don't forget about protein and healthy fats.
- How to celebrate afterwards: Pizza and beer. Always pizza and beer.
- How to sign up for next year: Check the NYRR website closer to the registration date.
