It's hard to run if your leg is gushing blood all over the place and hurting you. Also, the blood makes the ground slippery, and other runners will get mad at you, no matter how hard you try to explain that really, it's that jerk dog's fault.

Well, the NY Marathon came and went and the bomb did disappoint and missed my mark of 3.30 by more than a minute per mile . A few things here, I didn't reach the start line until 12 minutes after the 'gun' but I don't think this should matter as we all had timing chips. Regardless, pretty disappointed in this, but the experience was incredible, already applied for next year. As you recall, it was Nevada...

While running in the park this morning, I noticed a woman on rollerblades apply gloss while whizzing by me. Twenty minutes later, a jogger ran past wearing bright red lipstick. Who else likes to sport a little color on their lips during a workout? (I sometimes dab on some Too Faced Mood Swing Lip Gloss before a run. I love the pink that appears after a couple miles!) By the way, a big congratulations...
Mebrahtom Keflezighi was the first American in 27 years to win the New York City Marathon.

Paula Radcliffe might have struggled through adversity to complete the New York City Marathon on Sunday but her suffering is nothing compared to that of the participants that my aunt and uncle, Anne and Davie McQueen, assisted around the 26.2 mile, 5 borough race.
