NYC Marathon

Last Sunday, more than 38,000 runners took part in the NYC Marathon. I walked down to the course on 4th Ave (4 blocks from our apt) and arrived just in time to see the elite runners pass by. Our neighborhood is located at the mile 6 marker, so it was still early in the race. Paula Radcliffe won the womens race in 2:23:56 and I got a picture of her in the lead.

Next, the elite men raced by. The winner is wearing the neon yellow shirt, Brazil's Marilson Gomes dos Santos and he finished in 2:08:43.
