NYC Marathon, 2005. There go the Kenyans! What a great day. The Kenyans were running about as fast as I was drinking. Those dudes can flat out book. We were at mile marker 17, which is located around 73rd and 1st. Some of the places to have a beer and watch the race were Session 73, Finnegan's Wake Pub, and that cool six pack you pick up at any convenient store. What a drunk fest! I don't know if it was better to watch the actual runners or the people watching the runners. So here's to the 37,000 participants that pounded the pavement and the over 1,000,000 people that pounded their beers watching you pound the pavement.
