Brooklyn Half Marathon

This weekend we spent some time in NYC with Kris, Luci, Elizabeth, Liz and Nicole, running the Brooklyn Half Marathon. Everyone finished with great times. Kris trimmed just over two minutes off of her previous time from the half in Philly.

Just to clear up some confusion, I did not run. I do however maintain that you would not want me chasing you.

We made it into the city for a great meal, spent some time at the Staten Island Zoo and got in two ferry rides in the middle of it all. It was an inspiring weekend among wonderful people, in the greatest city in the world.
