Highlights:
- Third time was the charm. Great weather, great crowds, familiarity with the race logistics and course all lead to my best NYC Marathon time to date
- Spent some quality time in the Staten Island bus line with Councilman Jeremy Jamm, cruised up 5th Avenue with Kevin Hart, couldn’t find Tiki Barber – smoked all three celebrity runners
- Slept in my own bed the night before the race, on my couch with a beer by 4:30pm
Low-lights:
- After 16+ years and 50+ marathons, finally forced to retire the original Syracuse visor
- Made it back to my office to pick up the bag of clothes I had stashed, unable to access the 12th floor shower facility
- Missed the 6 year old flag football season finale and Luke’s first career rushing TD
Thanks:
- To Alma and the HBO fitness center crew for hooking me up with one of the Time Warner entry spots after I continued my lifelong streak of failing to win the entrance lottery
- To Dave Pugh for all the training runs including one final pre-race tune-up and for manning his traditional spot on the corner of 81st and 1st.
- To Shannon for sewing the logo from the original Syracuse visor onto the next generation model
