Yesterday, at 26 days to go, we watched a 26 mile race...somehow fitting. Even as a bystander, the New York Marathon is an amazing thing to be even a small part of. Standing at mile 8, outside the Atlantic Center train station, thousands of runners passed by as we cheered. Most of the marathoners wear their names on their shirts, so we can encourage them as they run. As we called their names, "Way to go Jimbo, Katie, Pablo, Stan, Melissa...," they thanked us by smiling, waving, or just simply running by. Anyone who knows Amanda knows that they definitely heard us.
So, we just wanted to thank all of our friends and family for their encouragement since we announced our engagement this past June, and as we run through the next 26 days ahead. Our next marathon starts at Bubby's on December 1st and the course for this one passes through far more than the five boroughs of New York City and has no specific finish line. We can't wait to begin this journey, surrounded by our friends and family to cheer us on.
