NYC Marathon 2008

The New York City Marathon sped, then lumbered, then dragged itself through the neighborhood today. Here's a few shots from the back end.

The Marathon came through the neighborhood today, on 4th Ave on the border of Park Slope and Gowanus. The area doesn't exactly have inspiring backgrounds to work with but this one is pretty good. These guys were in the third group of men to pass by. It was a pretty fun time watching on-lookers yell out country names or runner's names in support of the runners and watching the less serious runners showing their appreciation for the support.

There were also goof balls...


And by the way, in case you were wondering what you did if you had to go to the bathroom while running a marathon...
