NYC Marathon 2008

Every year I say the same thing, the New York City marathon is by far my favorite day in this city. It is one day where New Yorkers come together regardless of age, race or this year- political beliefs, to support those who came from far and near to run this amazing and challenging race. For the past 3 years we have been watching the race from our new neighborhood, Harlem. Harlem on marathon day is EXTRA well behaved as DJ Jazz plays great tunes to welcome the runners into Harlem for their last 5 miles. The following images were my pick to represent the runners of all abilities and humor and the locals that come to cheer them on!

















I had to add this one. Only in NYC, maybe even Harlem would someone push their groceries in a cart across the path of the runners!!







This man was absolutely adorable! He was there all day cheering on the runners by himself and having so much fun! I am sure the runners appreciated his enthusiasm and support immensely at this stage in the race!






Congratulations runners!!!
