  WOW.  You should AW.  That's amazing!!

  Why do they make the course so the last couple miles are all hilly as compared to the rest of the course?! LOL  You'd think you'd want to give people a break if they made it to mile 20+!

  ETA: You are truly a rockstar.  I knew it before, but DAMN, Val... I ache just LOOKING at that 20 miler!

  I agree with Paula.  Hills first, then a nice flat break.

  The good thing about NYC is that there a seriously about a million spectators, and I'm not even exaggerating that number.  So even though the hills at the end aren't what you'd normally like to see, that's where the specators will be (that's also Central Park) and that'll help you get through the last 3 (terrible) miles.  We don't get spectators in NM...seriously, I saw ~15 at the half I ran over Labor Day Weekend and maybe 30 at the finish line.  I'll take my iPod with me but I most likely won't even use it b/c I'll miss out on most of the race experience.

  Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  Thanks!  I told Mike yesterday that I was thinking about Chicago for next year...all I got was a big sigh and "Does every vacation need to involve a race?"  I'm taking that as a hint that I should prob stay local next year...maybe 2011 unless I can convince him to run it too.

  Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  You are AMAZING Val! I can't believe those hills you have to run while at home!

  I think you should come to Chicago next year! It's going to be on 10-10-10 I even had a quick thought that maybe I could try training and do it next year. But then I laughed and realized there is no way I could do it!
