On this date back in 1996 I ran the New York City Marathon. This year's NYC Marathon was yesterday. This is definitely a classic marathon -- a must see/do event; if you don't run it, go up to spectate. The race logistics can be tricky (you need to get to the start on Staten Island hours before the race begins) but the course through the five buroughs is worth it. There is never a dull moment from start to finish. Jodi pointed out that if you look carefully on this well-worn t-shirt you can see the twin towers; this gives another perspective dating this shirt.
