That guy is known by many who have been running NYRRC races. He always runs with bells... he kind of sounds like santa claus but the sound really helps you keep pace when you're dragging.

I think the crazy chink in the picture has some personal hygiene problems. Check-out the weird fungus mushrooming out from between his fingers. Yeeeech!

Watching from 4th ave is one of my favorite things in NYC.

We just received this link for Eat and Run, which has an extensive listing of restaurants along the route of the marathon.

Oh, hilarious image. That guy lives in Greenpoint. He must run in the NYC marathon every year, because he posts his runner # in the window of his home. He also puts up photocopies of himself in the lotus position at scenic locations.
