The New York City Marathon is a humbling, exhilarating and electrifying experience for both runners and spectators alike. (In fact, several members of Etsy staff will be facing the challenge this Sunday.) In honor of the big day, Etsy’s Gwen Schroeder has assembled a playlist of her favorite moments in running history.

As someone who became involved in the consumer co-op movement back in the 1970s, I see the DIY movement as something very similar; it's about self-sufficiency and helping each other succeed, and choosing your own work conditions and priorities. If many of us choose not to be involved in corporate culture, I see that more as a boycott than as a retreat. The conventional workplace isn't meeting our needs, so we're making our own way.

As a labor and delivery nurse, I would often times tell the women that labor was like running a marathon. Sometimes you "hit the wall" and you want to give up; but you can't and you don't. You just keep going. Best of luck to all the runners! I hope there are balloons and flowers waiting for you, across the finish line.

It is not so hard as you may think. I joined a running group and was able to go from breathlessly running just 1km to cruising through 21km over the course of several months. I ran a half marathon for cancer and raised over $3000 for the leukemia and lymphoma society! I've since developed asthma and won't run like that again, but the experience was incredibly rewarding, and free coaching was provided on a weekly basis, as well as all kind of supports from my fellow teammates running for the L&L. Try it, you'll be suprised at what you can do with a little coaching!

I love running, but not great at it. I just can't seem to get my breathing right, so I end up not doing it as much, which you need to to get better. Good luck to all of you out there!

What is this "running" you speak of? Not familiar with the concept. But best of luck to all of you who are participating and bravo to the ones raising money for worthy causes. Alas, we can not all be runners - some of us have to wait at the finish line, champagne in hand, and cheer you on. Cheers!
