Marathon Envy

The NYC marathon is tomorrow and I am beyond excited and jealous. It is truly, as cliche as it sounds, a testament to the human spirit. My brother is the only one in our family running this year (we usually have 2-3 runners) and we will spend most of Sunday spectating and trying to provide support for this amazing and grueling challenge that over 40,000!! people are taking on this year. If you have not seen this live, you MUST and if you have the slightest athletic ability, you should consider running in this beautiful race before you die. You will be hard pressed to find another day in which literally a million people lining the streets cheer for YOU, you get to run behind the best in the world and share the field with runners in wheelchairs, with one leg, old, fat, everyone pushing for a crazy goal. You get a nice running tour of the city and you ultimately prove to yourself that it is possible. I cannot help but cry when I watch the marathon. I may never do it again, but I had the privilege of running it twice. Go G-man RUN!
