Ellipses on the NYC HALF shell…

My long-time readers (are there any of you left?) will recall when I used to gather the links of other bloggers’ race reports after I ran a local race. This NYC Half-Marathon was such an exceptional event for so many of my friends that I will recognize their achievments with a round-up… EG is a friend through blogging and Twitter who ran the NYC Half as a final tune-up for the Boston Marathon; she was paced by our friend ES and discovered that sub-8’s are actually “chat pace” for her. But EG, was that before of after you spilled water up your nose?… I haven’t seen JG in far too long; he runs in Westchester but races in NYC with the Warren Street club. He came in second in his age group, and kindly gives me a kind shout-out in his review. If you’re into video, here’s something neat, too… RJR, blogger and 2009 Green Mountain Relay teammate, reflects on about spectating the course. He took pictures of the elites and cheered on his lady love, who finished 8 minutes faster than me. NICE!… CB, who I just met this year, also had an incredible race (PRing). Scroll down a bit to get to the report, but his photos are pretty cool–you can see  how fast he’s going… Lady Southpaw writes and performs music just for runners, and she was rocking out along the side of the course for us runners… Another woman I know through Twitter, PS, tweets and blogs from the Bay Area, where she works as a cameraperson for the TV series Glee. Here is the first part of her race report, which details the final 36 hours leading up to the race… One of my Team Fox teammates is TR. He loves red wine as much as I do and is always good for a laugh and a big ole meal. Click over to see the header photo on his blog, we don’t call him the “Funner Runner” for nothing!… The relentlessly chipper blogger over at Early Morning Runner experienced the race from the curb as well, here is her report along with pictures of the elites and her scrummy-looking breakfast…  Speedy Midwestern transplant MP set four (yes, 4) new PRs in a single half-marathon. That’s got to be somekind of PR-setting PR, right?…

Congratulations one and all, and thank you to everyone who cheered the racers on. If you’ve written a report of the New York City Half-Marathon but your blog is not represented in this post, please add a link in the comments!
