Marathon Memories

Marathon Memories

It's been a week and there are so many memories and highlights of the race and the people I met. Here are some of them.

Meeting my son and 4 grandchildren on 59'th street. A police officer took this picture.

Running in North Williamsburg where the crowd was so thick I raised both my arms and high-fived people on both sides of the streets at the same time.

High-fiving little kids who had their hands out.

Waving my arms at different places and getting the crowd into a frenzy.

The party in Harlem.

Stopping to talk to people and telling them my age.

Telling people why I am running. I took out my pill bottle to show them. 

Acknowledging spectators who called out my name.

Talking to other runners.

Saluting police officers.

Stopping outside a fire station and telling the firefighters that I ran 2 marathons in Laval for the firefighters.

Having random people tell me congrats while walking to the train and on the train returning to Brooklyn.

Asking the volunteers at the water stations where if they had any scotch.
