Running on Empty

This is what 47,000 people running looks like

We suppose there is a certain mindset to running a marathon that others just don't comprehend.

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day -- perfect for running 26 miles in New York City, through all five boroughs.

Lots of people ran to raise money for charity which is always inspirational. And all the clothes the runners strip off before running are collected and given to naked homeless people.

What intrigued us most was the interview with the men's sixth place finisher, Meb Keflezighi, who has won the event previously. Although his time yesterday was a personal best, Meb attributed not winning to the fact that he had to stop at mile 22 and throw up.

Too bad he wasn't carrying a barf bag. He wouldn't have had to stop.
