Running NY!

Running NY!

It’s the 50th Anniversary of the NY Marathon, and I’m running it. Yeah! Mike is here with me. New York is buzzing with runners and well-wishers and marathons jackets. I love it. And even before I got here, I had well-wishes from a lot of people. It’s really touching to know people are thinking of me.

Here’s our story:

In the Seattle airport on the way to NY. Notice the sweatshirt.

Made it to the hotel and this may be on the menu for Saturday night.

Dinner at a local pub. We love these pubs in New York.

Not the healthiest lunch but there are a lot of carbs in a pretzel, right?

Ready to run.

At the Athletes’ Village, trying to stay warm and then getting ready to run.

The race start, half-way through, a spectator and the finish.

Finished at 4:45:50 - 10:55 pace. Success.
