New York City is the perfect place to be in the fall. The leaves are changing, the weather is brisk and refreshing, and ho sh*t: Look at all those people running! This was my own reaction yesterday while walking along Central Park South during the ING 2011 NYC Marathon. There they were, those brave souls at the tail end of a 26 mile race. I had just come from Bloomingdale’s where I was purchasing a new foundation, which BELIEVE ME is exhausting enough what with both my pink and yellow undertones.
By the time I made my way across town, many marathoners had already finished, proudly sporting their gold medals while hobbling along 59th street like super fit Frankensteins. I smiled and even teared up at the stamina these folks had while taking hearty bites out of a giant soft pretzel I had strapped to my face with a feedbag. What amazing athletes!!
But my own private internal dance party for the marathoners can’t compare to what happened downtown, as a gigantic group of marathon supporters broke out into what has to be the world’s largest Electric Slide Marathon. As the saying goes:
