Family makes it worthwhile.
My sons Devon and Eric met me along the race course for both physical and emotional support. Devon and I are pictured above at mile 23, along Central Park. I was tired, but still feeling in charge. (About a mile later, I'd be struggling to put one foot in front of the other.)
I met Eric earlier in the race, at about 17.5 miles, but sadly didn't get a photo with him. They were both there at the end of the night, to celebrate my finish over the best barbeque that NYC has to offer. We ordered dessert, too. :)
