I will make a trip I have not made in several years. The LBI Commemorative 18 Mile Run returns this year - after having been a COVID-19 casualty in 2020 - for its 49th Annual Edition. It is a point-to-point race that begins at LBI's southern end in Holgate and wraps up at its northern end at the Barnegat Lighthouse.
Four Sundays after the LBI 18 Mile Run is the New York City Marathon. The LBI 18 Mile Run will be one of my last long runs prior to the Marathon and because it is (a) a competitive event; and (b) a point-to-point event it is an invaluable prep for the main event. I went to law school in large part to stay away from hard math but even I can figure out that if you intend to race 26.2 miles on a Sunday in November, then you damn sure better be able to race 18 miles on a Sunday in October.
