NY NY

The NY Marathon has come and gone. I have but a few things to share.
I can't imagine a better race destination. After all is said and done I think Karen (personal fan support)  had as much fun as I did. Exploring boutique hotels (oh all of those stairs!!), unique restaurants, and big tourist opportunities. The American museum of natural history, Times Square, Little Italy to name just a few.
The race, not even close to a PR course, especially with headwinds but is the most exciting and supported course imaginable. Awesome.
Thanks Saucony. The Fastwitch are the BEST shoe 10k to full marathon. Light and comfortable the whole 26.2 and beyond.
The weather, well it's November in NY.
I managed to finish respectably without the knee getting worse and then enjoyed a few days with the one I love most.
Finding a hotel with no elevator after race...priceless!
Over.


Recognize anyone? The height of the weekend meeting Haile! Fastest man in history.














First glimpse of the hotel staircase.  Nice.
