NYC Marathon / Mark on NBC… again
By Kenny | November 8, 2008
We have updates on the way, specifically about our weekend in New York, but here’s a little something to hold you over.
Right after completing the 2008 ING New York Marathon, Mark somehow managed to get interviewed LIVE by NBC Sports. This makes his second national news appearance this year after his debut when they interviewed him for segment on Zip Cars back in June.
We were able to see Mark twice during his 26.2 mile run that brisk but beautiful Autumn morning in NYC. We hopped cab from Central Park to meet up with him at mile 17 where we perched on some scaffolding overooking the crowd, then hoofed it back to Central Park to see him again at the “1/2 mile remaining” mark. Unfortunately he had some stomach pain for miles 16-18ish (even had to walk for a bit). But he pulled through and still finished at 2:45. It was a really great experience (and we didn’t even run). Tens of thousands of spectators cheering for tens of thousands of marathoners in the great City of New York. It was awesome to take that in.
