2007 New York City Marathon

Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Manhattan
New York, New York

NYC this weekend was a lot of fun seeing and hanging with all my cousins. Traveled to Long Island for Aunt and Uncles 50th Wedding Anniversary and Family Reunion. Awesome times! My 2 cousins and I took the Long Island Railroad into Manhattan to watch the NYC Marathon. Walked from 34th street through Times Square to Central Park South. Couple hours watching the race.


Central Park South
Time-Warner Center in the distance. Scenic spot for us to view the marathon. Half mile from the finish line.


Dathan Ritzenhein, Second Place Finisher, U.S. Olympic Time Trials
Dathan and fellow athlete happened to be watching race next to us. Dathan was talking to people advising when race leaders would be approaching. Very friendly guys telling us the leaders were coming.
