NYC Marathon

This year I witnessed how amazing the NYC Marathon can be and the moments it brings out. Although I didn't run the marathon this year, I actually had a more moving experience than the marathon's I participated in. I was running in Central Park at around 8pm and I found a group of lost walkers of the marathon. One of them,EK, insisted on finishing. So I guided her the last 1.5 miles of the course. As we walked, she told me her story. She had run 70 marathons in her life, but never New York.  Now she has a bigger challenge, brain cancer. It was a traggic and emotional feeling . I walked her all the way to the finish line, where she got her medal for finishing the NYC Marathon. It was an amazing feeling, I felt more emotion in helping her finish than in any of the 17 marathons that I have run. This really taught me the spirit of the marathon is real and how it can change people's lives.
