Nope, I did not run a marathon! I did go to the 2013 NYC Marathon to cheer on a friend! It was a lot of fun being a spectator! The top photo is right before the runners cross the bridge from Queens to Manhattan and the photos below it is close to Columbus Circle! As you can see, we were able to watch for my friend at 2 locations! Yes, we were able to eat lunch and what not in between the two points we watched! Haha! Seeing a marathon in person taught me a few things. Marathon runners come in all sizes and shapes! It's really a very, very long run! 26.2 miles to be exact! It's fun being a spectator! They have bands playing along the way! It's wonderful people with disabilities are still able to participate in marathons! I saw a few people being pushed on their wheel chair! I think watching a marathon is an experience not to be missed!
