NYC Half Marathon

This morning, very early, I made my way up to Central Park to cheer on some friends and mentees from my marathon training group in the New York City Half Marathon. Not only were there thousands and thousands of runners, all manner of New Yorkers were up and about early for this exciting event.


It was well worth tramping through the bushes in Central Park, and racing from one subway stop to the next to get pictures of the runners at different stages throughout the race.

Still in a crowded pack, coming up on Mile 3 at West drive and 80th Street in the park:


The road littered with cups after the water station at 57th Street and 6th Avenue:


Making the turn onto 42nd Street in Times Square:


Team in Training runners coming into the home stretch at 16th Street and the West Side Highway. This is the spot where I wore my throat hoarse from cheering.


Go runners!
