4:59.26

Dan and I approching Chris and Kim between miles 12 and 13 in Brooklyn.


This past weekend was the marathon. I'm not sure if anyone is keeping score but that was maybe the best weekend of the year. For the fifth straight year the weather was great as was just about everything else. As if that weren't enough the Kleinstacks drove up to join in the festivities. John Potter was a great host.

Kim and Chris met us between miles 12 and 13, again around mile 23. The Kleinstacks met us around mile 18. Then they all met us after the jog and death march getting out of the coral.

For the sense of having thousands of people yell out encouragement along the way many runners write their name on their number. So people will yell GO... One guy put Nads on his number so people yelled GO Nads! I was thinking about it and next year I may put as my name ...speed racer-go or even better ...home; Go "Speed Racer-go" or Go "Home". Go home is kind of sadistic but funny.

There's already rumors floating around that Kim, POI and even Teresa are going to register for next year. That would crazy fun.
