2010 New York City Marathon
One week ago, I ran the New York City Marathon. As noted many times
throughout this blog, this race was something I've been working toward
since December of 2008. This event was the culmination of nearly two
years of hard work and dedication. And it was worth every single mile
I've run over the last two years.
At 9:40, the cannon was fired and the marathon started. Within minutes,
I was crossing the starting line and running over the Verrazano Bridge.
Not only was I running in the footsteps of the current world record
holder and the first American to win New York in 27 years, I was running
in the footsteps of legends.
About three and half hours later, I entered Central Park for the last
few miles of the race. I looked around and had the odd sensation that I
was home.
It's difficult to put into words the feelings of that day. Despite
having completed three sanctioned marathons prior to this day, crossing
the finish line was something I couldn't believe I was actually doing.
It was absolutely amazing.
