The Halls in the Big Apple

My family visited... 3 week ago now. (Sorry it took so long!) It was quite the good time. We rode the subway in circles for fun. It was really great to see them though and fun to show them around the city a little bit. I also got two large bins of clothes and the carpet remnant from our living room. The carpet may seem like a small thing but since our living room has been (VERY) slowly coming together since we moved in, it's nice to have.

Run Like You Mean It

Today was the New York City Marathon! My roommate, Ami and I had the opportunity to volunteer by passing out Gatorade at the 15th mile. We got there around 10:30 when they were still waiting for the runners so we got to see the front runners. The women came around first and then the men. Overall, they said that there were 41,000 people running the race and they were from all over the world. It was really cool because people wrote their country or their name on their shirt so we could cheer them on a little more personally. It definitely inspired me and I'm considering training for the marathon next year. I will definitely run the NYC marathon before I die. It was a pretty cool experience!

This is where we were standing to hand out water.

We had to run to the other side so we could get our t-shirts so I ran we ran in the marathon for about 8 seconds!
