My weekend started on Wednesday last week. Mike picked me up and we were off to Rhode Island to pick up his mom and brother and then on to New York City. I didn't realize how relativley close I am to New York City here in Boston. I guess I didn't really have any excuse to not go. I'm glad I got a chance to go this past weekend, especially with the company I went with. I got a chance to go to the top of the Empire State Building, walk around Time Square, attempt to be seen on the "Today Show", AND see a Broadway Musical (Grease). Seriously, so much fun.
Just eating a hot dog at 11 o'clock at night in Time Square.
Me and Mike in Time Square (you can't really see us, but we're the little people in the front of the picture)
If you look really closely, you can see a white poster being held up . . . that's us!!
Grand Central Station
I got a good giggle fron the second sign down . . . "Don't honk" Only in New York City.
I ended up calling in "sick" on Friday (sleep deprivation does count!), and slept in until noon. I could have slept even longer. Then Saturday was the big day for the half marathon. I was a little bit nervous, but so happy when I came in at 2 hours and 19 minutes! I had to laugh when I told my sister Nellie my time. Her response was, "oh, well good for you". There was no excitement in her comment, I think she was thinking . . . "2 hours? That's really almost embarassing how long you were running." I had to put it in perspective for her and tell her other people's times. It was then that she sounded truly enthusiastic. Thanks Smelly.
I was told that I was a little bit of an enthusiastic runner. I couldn't help it, whenever I saw someone I knew taking pictures I got all excited!!
Jo, Marci, and I. This was such an accomplishment and we were SO happy.
