  • Comments: The NYC Marathon is a really special race. It's crowded and the start logistics are a pain, but the payoff is worth it. I got a tremendous amount of support from my BT friends over the past few months as I struggled with injuries. You guys encouraged me not to give up even when things were pretty rough. I thought of you when I felt like giving up on my goal and it kept me going. Thanks to all of you for helping me end my season in the most memorable way possible.

  • Comments: If you would have told me 4 years ago when I was 255lbs that I would even start a marathon, I would have said you were crazy! I ran the NYC Marathon!! I am a marathon finisher!! My time goal was 4:35... not even close to that but my real goal was to enjoy the experience, take it all in and be able to walk and smile after it was over, and I nailed that one! This is an amazing race and I would strongly suggest that everyone do it at least once... it is the experience of a lifetime. Running through the streets and over the bridges of the city I love is amazing. OVERALL, IT WAS A GREAT DAY!! One that I will never forget regardless of my finishing time.
