I ran the NYC Marathon in 2006, and it was an amazing experience. On Sunday, the day of the marathon, I re-read my blog post about my run and got all nostalgic.
Today, my friend Gwen posted this great recap of her second marathon. She also documented her run using a special camera on her head! I have to say, it made me emotional to watch this, remembering how I felt at certain spots of the route.
Read and see her video here. (Time-lapse video is also below)

Congratulations, Gwen!
I actually entered the lottery for the marathon this year, but I didn't get in. And to be honest, I was actually really really really hoping that I wouldn't get in. It's an amazing experience, but it sure does take up a lot of time for the training. Plus, it's exhausting and painful and all that...
But I've decided to just keep entering the lottery to see what happens. And perhaps I'll eventually run one with my Dad.

The NYC marathon is on my wishlist of marathons to run. :-)
