What better way to spend my runnbatical than to be glued to the NYC marathon coverage this weekend! I may have even slipped in a Virtual Adventure race somewhere between the cannon and the finish–more on that later.
My observations:
1. Could the weather in NYC have been more perfect?
2. AC/DC’s Hells Bells as they introduced the elite men? Haha!
3. I wonder if the fumes from the media motorcycles bugs the elites? Or are they electric like the lead car?
4. This has got to be the best day of the year, bar none, for Mary Wittenberg. Rockstar!
5. I love how Meb K. grabbed the hand of the boy who was his escort when they were introduced. Class act all the way!
6. Apparently Jerod and I have something more in common than a love for a Subway Club now and again. I wonder if there’s a Kenyan version of Jerod?
7. If I were that Chilean Coal Miner, I think I’d be pretty irritated with having cameras in my face the entire way. Sheesh cut the dude a break!
8. No fall colors yet in Central Park? What gives?
9. SHALANE!!!
