What an incredible day!
way to go for volunteering – I always remember that mile 18 is where things got really tough so those runners need all the help they can get at that point!
Oh god that is a mess! You are awesome for volunteering!
Great photos!!! They really do represent that one mile of the race. Very cool!
Wow a sea of cups! I agree with Sana, you are totally awesome for volunteering!
they could have put trash cans so runners would know where to put their used cups 🙂
I’m sure it was another very inspiring weekend in NYC! I’m thrilled that you got to participate.
I volunteered there yesterday and have some good pics! My daughter is in the second photo…she was a good sport! Had a blast! xo
She was amazing and such a great source of joy for the runners!
Julie! Your daughter Madeline is an absolute DOLL – I so enjoyed her sweet-natured energy, and watching the exhausted runners perk up at the sight of her.
WOW! Saw it on TV & how thrilling that the American lady came in second!
so cool to see you at the 18th mile! sorry i didnt run over and say hi but i was caught up in the moment right then and things were about to get rough! was it fun seeing everyone?
Are you seriously apologizing for not socializing while running a marathon??? =) Baker, you’re too kind.
Yes, it was fun seeing everyone. However, I was too busy handing out water to see most of the runners I know.
What an awesome picture. How incredible to be there to see the excitement in person!
Awesome Jess! I almost came down to say hello (I was waiting at 114th) but I was so paranoid I was going to miss my friend. I met her at 19 and took her all the way. Boy is 7 miles easier than 26 HA!
Thank YOU, Jess! It was such an inspiring, emotional day. My brother got some great photos, including a couple cute ones of us in our ponchos and rain boots: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=14612&id=100001575832477&l=c713752fea
Great pictures! Mile 18 is such a key (and tough!) part of the marathon!
I am so glad I got to meet you this weekend! I also officially put my name in the lottery for next year!
You were right past me! I was at the corner of 94th. Such a fun day.
I wish I had known you were at the 18th mile – that is right where it got really tough for me!
I think that would be so inspiring to see. Love the pictures. 🙂
It was such an amazing experience!!!!!!!! I am finally get my voice back from screaming so much haha
