It wasn’t quite as fast as I wanted.

I thought I might be able to hit 4:19:00, but don’t get me wrong.

It was a glorious day. It was a great day. It was wonderful.

My finish time was in the top 45% of all finishers, meaning I was faster than more than half of the people who ran the race yesterday. Not bad for a guy in his mid-50’s.

I had a great first half (just around two hours) but I didn’t feel as well in the second half and my pace slowed considerably.

The New York City Marathon is one of the highlights of the year for me.

I again wore a Superman shirt. It is awesome to have people yelling, “GO SUPERMAN!” to me as I run. They made me feel like a true superman.

The crowds yesterday were AMAZING. Start to finish, the spectators were so enthusiastic. It was awesome.

I LOVE THE NYC Marathon!

Since I am still running every single day this year, I did a slow 2.25 miles today. It felt good to be out there.

No… it felt GREAT!
