[...] I followed that plan to a T. Which is to say, ever since completing (more or less) the NYC Marathon, I haven’t run more than once a week. And when I’ve run, it’s usually been for [...]

Just getting to read the race report today, congrats again on getting a very respectable time for the marathon.

Great to see you again and to meet Lisa. Thanks for enjoying our city, and if you thought that 45k people running was something, you should see the 35k that are on bikes for the 5 Boro Bike Tour.

Way to go! I follow AC (Life with Kona) and read her report. I think NY was her first marathon, and she referenced you, so I thought I’d read your account. You had me laughing out loud (no I wasn’t laughing AT you, I was laughing WITH you..oh wait..you weren’t really laughing…)

Glad it ended well for you! What a great race! You did GREAT!!!

Fantastic Job! I hope my day at the Philly half marathon next weekend is as uneventful (no pain) as yours and the Runners. Its my first and am looking forward to the atmosphere that you described!
I also went to see ride across the sky! What a great movie, and who did you pay off for all of the screen and narrating time?! Great Job!
Congratulations!

I ran NYC in 1986, the year they experimented with handing out water in JUICE BOXES instead of cups. The volunteers at the rest stops had to unwrap and put all those little tiny straws into the boxes, and then we had to DRINK from those little tiny straws! Loved your picture of all the cups on the ground – now imagine juice boxes, many of which are half full because people gave up on trying to suck those tiiny little straws. If you stepped on one just right, it would explode. This “experiment” was not repeated in subsequent years.

In addition to all the runners, and all the languages I heard all around me as I ran, the most impressive thing to me was the VOLUNTEERS who were everywhere and would do anything the runners needed. And when I crossed the finish line, 14000somethingth, one of them ripped off my tag (this was before chips) another put a medal around my neck, and another handed me a rose, read my bib and said, “Congratulations, Barbara!” I was damn impressed.

Congratulations Fatty & Lisa! And congratulations on your two new nephews!

Awe come on now Fatty, throw Maggi and I a bone here. We must have given you a little energy at mile 12 because you and Lisa beat us to Philly Jen’s cheer station and we took the subway.
