"I round the bend coming off of the bridge and there is the better half, ready for the Krispy Kreme handoff. She has picked up a Boston Creme and a Chocolate Frosted, whose job it is to give me enough sugar to reach mile 26. I kiss the better half and wave the bag triumphantly at the crowd, yelling 'Krispy Kreme!', but they don't seem impressed. It will take me three miles to eat the chocolate donut, in between trying to breathe. The Boston Creme will be abandoned in the Bronx."

description of running the NYC Marathon makes me want to run it too. I don't run for the bus. I think I did once... but I'm not proud of it. Anyway, the New York City Marathon is beautiful. Congratulations Maciej!
