Marathon


With November comes the New York City Marathon, a favorite of Seth and mine! We LOVE the marathon, and especially this year, since we actually knew one of the runners!

The marathon was Sunday morning. We headed down to 4th Avenue, bundled up with hot coffees to keep our fingers and mouths warm and happy. We were just in time to see the beginning of the men run by and not long after came the masses of runners. Unfortunately we missed our friend (we tried to find him in the masses, but it really was impossible). Into the city we went, heading for Central Park to try to see him before he crossed the finish line.

This photo was taken in Central Park while waiting for him to come. We had a perfect spot. We entered the park at 5th Avenue and about 80th street or so (near the Alice in Wonderland statue that I thought I'd never seen before, but in fact have... It's near the little pond where people put in their remote control boats and you see it on movies often.)

I have more photos... Hopefully I'll get them posted soon. Been quite under the weather :(

Hope you are feeling better! And I'm so glad you get to see the game on Saturday!! You & Seth yell really loud from there. (I have a hunch we're going to need all the support we can get.) Look for me on TV. I'll be the one in purple! ;}
