New York City Marathon

Earlier this month, runners from all over the country came to New York to run through the five boroughs that make up New York City. For some it was a race (i.e. Paula Radcliffe, who won for the 3rd year in a row), while others ran to support a cause, whether for a sick friend or family member.

The news coverage on TV was amazing. What was even more amazing than watching it on the TV screen in my toasty Queens apartment was watching it live when I went out to Columbus Circle and Central Park to witness the event in person.

It was so inspiring to see so many people running, in the cold, up 59th Street. And in the midst of it all, it was really starting to look like Fall...
