2004 Palos Verdes Half Marathon

Half marathon #2. Didn't take a picture of #1 (also Palos Verdes, 2 years before.) Time = 1:33:57 (my best time.) The singlet rubbing against the chest for an hour and a half is irritating and you can see why some long distance runners tape up their nipples (that's blood on my shirt.)

2004 Long Island Marathon (1 of 2)

To date, the only marathon I have run. 3:20:55 (the time at the top is the gun time not my time.) Ran the first half in 1:35:50. Hit the wall around mile 18 and walked/ran the last six miles. Tremendous sense of achievement (and relief) when I crossed the finish line. The week before, as a training run, I had run right around the perimeter of Manhattan; up the East River, round the top at Inwood, down to the Staten Island Ferry and round the lower East Side/Brooklyn Bridge. 30 miles approx.

2004 Long Island Marathon (2 of 2)

Done. Happy. Went over to the LIRR station and took train back to Manhattan.

#009 up the Hudson River in snow

(Feb 2004, finished Nov 2004, written Jun 2010) Wendy reminded me today that we'd jumped in her car and driven up to Cold Spring Harbor to go for a hike. Hike we did without a map and we were soon lost. There were almost no other hikers out that day. Eventually we came across two guys and we asked them where we were. Alas, they were stoners and they babbled uselessly and incoherently. Eventually we made it back to the car and drove into Cold Spring Harbor. We had brunch there then went for an ice cream and sat in the car and realized by bizarre coincidence we had parked in front of an ex-boyfriend of Wendy's house. It was the last place you'd think this New Yorker would have moved to, but he had, and he walked right past our car and into his home. He must have thought we were stalking him as we calmly watched him go into his house and licked ice cream.

#020 Central Park in snow (lost original)

My heart hurts when I see this picture because this is the only watercolor I have ever lost. Every December, I make Christmas Cards out of a favorite image. This was the one I chose for 2009 and I must have left it on the copying machine in Kinko's before Julie and I went to England. Of course, it wasn't there when I got back and asked in January. They looked through the "scraps" basket but no joy. It might have been taken away but more likely, tossed in the trash and sent to the city dump or paper recycling plant.
