New York Marathon
Today is a rest day for me, but I did watch the ING New York Marathon on TV this morning.
Last year's female winner won again this year, while a man from Brazil took the men's title. Evidently nobody from Brazil has ever won a NY Marathon, so that was cool.
Lance Armstrong was there, running his first marathon. He finished just under 3 hours.
The commentators, who kept talking about celebrities attempting the marathon, also mentioned that Oprah Winfrey has run a marathon before. She ran her first in Chicago in 4 hours.
If Oprah can do it, so can I. Right?
Anyway, it was fun to watch the elite runners race the marathon. I definitely will not be seeing any of them out on the course. ;)

DAMMIT!!! I forgot the marathon was on. Me and my friends usually claim a spot in Brooklyn to cheer/heckle the runners. You'd be surprised how many runners are tempted to take a cigarette while running. (not my tempting, my friend Dan is the asshole there)
