The Countdown Continues
5 days to go before the NYC Marathon! I enjoyed a nice short run today and will continue to taper off my runs, with no major activity after Wednesday.
My marathon update email today contained two interesting bits of information:
1) Poland Spring water will sponsor a celebration of NYRR's 50th anniversary and the race that includes "a pre-race finish-line party" starting at 6 pm with live entertainment, a happy anniversary song, and fireworks at 7:30 pm (look for the number 50 in the sky).
2) The Empire State Building, the most recognizable building in New York City, will show its marathon colors from November 1 to 2. The building’s tower lights will radiate orange, blue, and white in honor of the marathon. This beacon will signal all marathoners to go to the Empire State Building to receive a free pin while supplies last. Runners need to present their bib, or a copy of their registration card, at the cashier's office to collect the pin.
