| Nearing the end of his long ordeal, a runner gives thanks |
 |
| I missed getting a photo of the first person to finish the marathon, but this is the 4th, which is still awfully impressive |
 |
| Crossing the last bridge before the finish line |
 |
| The runners weren't the only ones who prepared for the race |
 |
| Sweat and blood |
 |
| A supporter becomes a participant during the home stretch |
 |
| The thrill of seeing a loved one approach the finish line |
 |
| Approaching the finish together |
 |
| Aeneas carried his father from the ruined Troy, this son pushes his own father toward the finish line |
 |
| Completing the course in just a bit over 4 1/2 hours |
 |
| Having completed the race, a runner passes by the crowd in his metallic mantle |
 |
| This French runner was among the first wave of finishers |
 |
| Lion-hearted |
Dear Steven, a thought at New York today and at a great musician who left us with magic and loss.
ReplyDeleteFrancesco, A friend wrote something about happening upon Lou Reed in a Starbucks last February, which makes me think that he actually outlived the city he loved. "Ah, don't you know that the city is a funny place?" he sang, "kind of like a circus or a sewer..." Or now very much like a suburban mall outside Dallas.
