I ran It was my second marathon and second New York. last year I was unprepared and injured and had a rough race - I finished in 5:03. This year I was better prepared and pretty healthy at the starting line. I ended up finishing in 4:33 - exactly 30 minutes faster than last year! I was able to run the whole race and did not fall apart at the end...very pleased.

Thx for coming out to cheer...the spectators really make this the greatest marathon in the world!

I ran and had a great time, but it was horrible running. As soon as I was dropped off at Meadowlands, I realized I had left my pack in the car. People were so nice and i had plenty of nutrition, but I have a very sensitive stomach and got sick at mile 20 and stopped until I felt better- about 15 minutes. A police officer let me use a blocked off bathroom which helped a lot! I also twisted my ankle at mile 5. Still, the crowds were amazing and kept me going. My name got in the paper... Barely! This is a medal of perseverance for me!
