For myself the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon was not just my first marathon it was the pinnacle of 18 months worth of training. On the 1st April 2013 I weighted in at 19.5 Stone (273 lbs) and just before the marathon i weighed in at 13 stone (182 lbs) thats a lose of 6.5 stone (91 lbs) so the New York Marathon was not just a marathon for me it saved my life. I was heading down a path of obesity and illness. Then I found running and thought running a marathon would never happen but my Personal Trainer said if I wanted it badly enough anything thing was possible so training started! I would like to really thank the New York Road Runners (NYRR) for organising such an amazing event and to the crowd, the crowd were just amazing and you all did your city proud! The other Runners, all the ones I met were so nice and positive about everything. Most of all I would like to think Vin the 5:15 pacer who without his positivity and motivation I would not of been able to finish in 5:11:22! not a world class time but for me it means the world me! So again a big thank you to everyone who was involved, Organisers, Runners and the Crowd. Thank you! https://facebook/photo.php?fbid=10154891749310601&set=o.71638113323&type=1
