It actually tells you when it is, how to get there, what to do there, etc. so I'm really excited now thinking about going to one!Kung Paohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246910724566519074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-50786549890584963922009-11-03T16:37:28.506-05:002009-11-03T16:37:28.506-05:00great shots! what an amazing event!! cheers, lizagreat shots! what an amazing event!! cheers, lizaLiza Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16880845636551995518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-67272672525293654272009-11-03T10:18:05.421-05:002009-11-03T10:18:05.421-05:00I have run the NYC Marathon every year since 1993....I have run the NYC Marathon every year since 1993.<br /><br />In 2008 I took my camera to show what the "media" does not.<br /><br />http://whatyourdonotknowbecauseyouarenotme.blogspot.com/2008/11/blog-post_03.html<br /><br />Thanks for your support.

Cheering them on was poignant.<br /><br />Hi Washington<br />Ha, I wish I could join them. I'm sure the backstage view is pretty interesting.<br /><br />Haha, Terry. I should have put that in about the bridge. Yes, the race starts on the Verrazano, which is a pretty cool concept.<br /><br />Thanks Luis, I liked that one, too. A lucky catch.<br /><br />Wow Jacob, what a story? That's so very inspiring. What a person Lois Anne must be?Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-87909540143905321502009-11-02T19:18:07.554-05:002009-11-02T19:18:07.554-05:00Lois Anne ran the NYC Marathon in 2003.

She was 68 at the time and despite a bad leg cramp about 1/2 which required some medical attention, she made in about about 5:30.<br /><br />Great fun.

Once I thought about it, though, I realized that of <i>course</i> this wouldn't be the only way on and off the island. I looked at Google maps and saw the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

When they get there they all get there at the same place. It seems like it would be more fun if they all ran in different directions. I don't know what you could call that kind of race but it would be a bad dream for organizers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-20273439715252028322009-11-02T05:59:38.645-05:002009-11-02T05:59:38.645-05:00Marathons always provide excellent shots.
