memorable moments of the marathon

• hearing the rocky theme song in brooklyn
• "i like your hair." "go pink skirt!" (towards me)
• being handed a bottle of water, drinking it, and then looking to see a jay-z label on the bottle
• "what's that all over your face? salt?" my mom, post-marathon
• being so dizzy i'm forced to grab onto a spectator for a moment
• the absolute ROAR upon entering central park for that last stretch into the finish line
• the absolute ROAR upon exiting the 59th st bridge
• 1st ave; the people--dizzying!
• finishing and having a packet of salt poured into my mouth--yuck!
• candice in the bronx! yay!
• the man handing out soda on the willis ave bridge
• a man pushing me, and me tripping and accidentally tripping a woman because of this--who yelled, "get away from me!" i ran sideways, and then past her.
• shouting at quiet hipsters (who probably didn't hear me) in williamsburg, "if you're gonna raise the rents, raise your voices!"
• listening to trev's brother who is normally quiet (around me) scream my name
• finishing. finishing. FINISHING!
