NYC marathon
Among the 38,000 who just began the race is my daughter. Of course, many won't actually start for another 20 minutes, given the mass of people that move across the Verrazzano. Just think of when a light turns green, how long it takes for the last car to get to move. (Is there a word for this??) When they first held the NYC Marathon, only a few hundred people took part; now there are enough people to populate a medium-size village. Amazing.
It's amazing that so many people set this goal and are now part of this big, wild, energetic event. And I was surprised at how moved I was at the start, knowing my daughter was there. I wish her and the others all the physical and emotional strength and excitement that they richly deserve. Good luck to them all as they engage in their coup d'etat of the amazing City of New York.
