I used to hit the wall at the 300-meter mark of the 400-meter dash... twenty-one MILES kinda boggles the mind.

Great job, Joe!

@Joe Nation,

Ah, two years ago when you ran this and reported, I ended up crying some at the end of the report. I missed following your notes in the last few days and just caught up now - and sure enough, a few tears, and you haven't written up the long report yet. I better have a kleenix box ready.

WALK THIS WAY Andy Newman with his dog, Barnaby, on Warren Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

On Sunday morning, 40,000 people will run, walk and wheel their way 26.2 miles through New York’s five boroughs in a whirlwind tour of the city at its most festive. My personal marathon, restricted to the long rectangle created by Baltic and Warren Streets and Fourth and Fifth Avenues in Park Slope, Brooklyn, offered something more subtle: a glimpse at a day in the life of my neighborhood.

@Region Philbis,

'Twas a fab race. I have a new personal record: 38:12. First one of these I ran took me 01:04:04. So I've improved by 25:52, AKA about 39%. In something like 6 months. Woof.
