Nike Women's Marathon 2010

this weekend was the nike women's marathon. it seemed so distant when allison and i signed up in may - and even during the long training months from july (in new york heat/humidity) to 20+ miles in september! it finally arrived this weekend and was a great experience (although not one that i hope to have again!)

union square was a madhouse at the expo.

it was also allison's birthday! so we went to dinner.

vijay, vibha, allison, gordy, meghana

6:15 a.m. pre race

mile 11. this was just before it started to rain.

post-race with allison and her family. as you can see, 4 hours of running including 2.5 hours of rain is not my best look. but we survived (and got that tiffany's necklace!)
