What an incredible day!
Colleen (Books in the City) says
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!
Sana says
Oh god that is a mess! You are awesome for volunteering!
Amber from Girl with the Red Hair says
Great photos!!! They really do represent that one mile of the race. Very cool!
Lin says
Wow a sea of cups! I agree with Sana, you are totally awesome for volunteering!
jassy says
they could have put trash cans so runners would know where to put their used cups 🙂
Joanna Sutter says
I’m sure it was another very inspiring weekend in NYC! I’m thrilled that you got to participate.

She was amazing and such a great source of joy for the runners!
Bridgid Bibbens says
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.
Jody - Fit at 52 says
WOW! Saw it on TV & how thrilling that the American lady came in second!
baker says
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?
Jess says
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.
Nichole says
What an awesome picture. How incredible to be there to see the excitement in person!
Glamamom says
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!
Bridgid Bibbens says
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!
Robyn @ Wannabe Writer Runner says
You were right past me! I was at the corner of 94th. Such a fun day.
Liz says
I wish I had known you were at the 18th mile – that is right where it got really tough for me!
