Today's Pea's big day, right?
May she run long and more quickly than she'd hoped. --Bob

I picked up Skoop and SkoopMom from the airport and had lunch in Manhattan.
I will get them from the train later tonight.
Can't wait to see Kay!
Tomorrow will be a blast!

I will follow online tomorrow after I get home from my half marathon.
One of my marathon coaches is also running New York, so I'll be following his progress, too.

Do we have a bib number, or whatever it is we need to follow her progress?? Having a real person to root for is very exciting!

Good luck, Pea! Don't be like Zenyatta and wait too long to make your move.

Where are you waiting to see her? I don't think she's reached the 5k marker yet. But with 37,000 runners that's not surprising.kayrharris wrote:littlebeast13 wrote:TheCalvinator24 wrote:

And this web page is supposed to be able to track her:ulysses5019 wrote:She's wearing bib #53479.

Nothing's being reported yet, so she hasn't reached the 5K mark (if she's even started).

Wave Starts: In order to alleviate congestion at the start, along the course, and at the finish; reduce waiting time prior to the start; and enhance runners' overall race experience, there will be three wave starts. Instead of releasing close to 45,000 runners at the same time, each wave will release approximately 15,000 runners in 30-minute increments. Assignments will be posted on your profile page and will be printed on runners' registration cards, which will be e-mailed in October.
