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.

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