Sorry it took a while to get this report out to you.<BR/><BR/>Andrew - Thanks...I try my best to situate everyone inside my head as I'm running.<BR/><BR/>Joyrun, Xenia - Legs and hearts are coming...<BR/><BR/>M*J*C - Yeah, I'm sure everyone can use a break after the first ten miles...<BR/><BR/>Cowboy Hazel - You're right. But anything goes in a marathon. No one really does much about public peeing there, unlike in a regular NYRR race...in some circles, it's consider a right of passage to pee off the Verrazono Bridge.<BR/><BR/>Julianne - Thanks for being patient. The rest will be out soon.<BR/><BR/>Spartan 7 - Thanks. I plan to have the rest of the chapters out in the following days.<BR/><BR/>Alan - Thanks for the update.

Like the others, I'm anxious to hear the rest.<BR/><BR/>One thing that's surprised me is hearing everyone talking about the peeing off of the bridge. I know at the start of all the NYRR races I've ever run, they say that failing to use the portable toilets will result in being banned from future races. Do they not have the same rules for the marathon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-69809694154680999472008-11-09T16:15:00.000-05:002008-11-09T16:15:00.000-05:00Such a good report!!!
