The big race in New York is approaching and there has been considerably more hype than most of the races I have had a chance to do. Obviously it is the largest, bigger this year than ever before due to last year's cancelation. It also seems having lost the New York City Marathon last year and the tragedy in Boston this year, there is a strong sentiment to make this one great. It is being broadcast on ESPN 2 for the first time in 20 years. I am excited to be a part of it! It's a thrill to be able to run it. It is an honor to run it for a charity I believe in so strongly, PAWS. It is also a great feeling to run it and demonstrate to the world that runners, in particular the marathoners, are a tough bunch to keep down. We have laced up in countless races since Boston, but never before on such a stage as this. I am glad to be a part of it and grateful for the chance.
