...actually, no I didn't. But, I watched about 40,000 other people do it. In case you didn't know, this weekend was the annual New York City Marathon. With the course running through all five boroughs, the city pretty much shuts down to accommodate the runners with many of the locals heading out-of-doors to root the athletes on. This year, I headed out to my usual spot on 106th Street and 5th Avenue, hoping to catch my friends John, Rick and Pete accomplish something that I have neither the inclination nor the willpower to do — run 26.2 miles. If you've ever tried to pick 3 people out of a large crowd, you know it can be difficult. Now imagine finding 3 people out 40,000 as they steadily and quickly stream past you down a 3 lane road. Rick managed to get past me but, I did find John and Pete. Yes, my life is hard. Congratulations to you guys, and to everyone who ran this weekend.
