LAST WEEKEND.
External link: http://www.ingnycmarathon.org/
On Thursday, David D. came up from D.C. for the weekend to stay with me and run the NYC marathon. He got in late, so we just split a couple beers at my place.
Friday was Halloween. I dressed as an hasidic Jew. This outfit consisted of a white, button-down shirt, black slacks, black shoes, a black overcoat, a flat-brimmed black hat, and some long black curls attached to the hat. I watched the Village Halloween parade. Manny F. and his new girlfriend marched in the parade, and when they got up to where I was, I snuck under the barricade and marched with them to the end. Then we had dinner, and then hooked up with David D. and his girlfriend Stephanie T. and some friends of Stephanie's for drinks.
Saturday, I met David D.'s family. He went to U. Michigan, and so did my brother, so we had brunch at a place where we could watch the Michigan vs. Michigan State game. Then we saw the El Greco exhibit at the Met, and called it an early night, since the marathon was the next day.
Sunday, I walked the last twelve miles of the New York City marathon, from where it enters Manhattan until the end. This was the fourth time I've done that in five years (I was out of the country last year). It was much easier than it had been in the past. It's the first time I've done it while I've been exercising regularly.
