Thank you all for the nice posts again this year -- I always appreciate it!  It was a bit of a struggle in the 2nd half of the race this year.  Heading in to the race I was thinking it was going to be a great weather day for the runners, mainly because all those 30+ mph winds from earlier in the week were gone.  What I didn't factor in was the sun -- there was not a single cloud the entire day. So although the high in NYC got to about 60, it actually felt like 70 with the sun beating down all day (for nearly 5 hours in the race).  I went through the halfway point at a 4:14 pace, but obviously the race went downhill after that.  But always a fun day in the city seeing friends and family at various locations along the course (as well as post-race). And a shoutout to SUMBA, who attended both the race and post-race celebration.

As I mentioned last year, the NYRR tracks the "Streakers" on their website (runners with 15+ marathons). Every year I usually move up a couple spots because of runners that can't do it anymore (or at least this year).  So for the first time I have cracked the top-25 -- specifically I am one of 25 runners in the world that have run at least 34 consecutive NYC Marathons (there are 3 of us tied for 23rd).
