I'm impressed by the dedication of the spectators to get up early, stake out a spot, and cheer for hours of runners going by.

That's a pretty cool deal considering they don't know most of the runners, and probably the majority of spectators are not runners...and it is not like they are going to see a great, hit, throw, catch, goal or touchdown or something.

Very cool people who come out and cheer.

I'd much rather watch the race actually happen on my laptop. I'll walk down to the course when they get to ~21.5 miles to cheer on the leaders. Then I'll go back up to my apartment and catch the finish. Hope Meb's up there that late in the race.

Men are running pretty fast. 449 9th mile.

He is probably a naturalized citizen in the US army.

You cannot be serious!

Mac is the man!

You're right, Yuki was first one introduced. They haven't mentioned him since, and we're almost one hour in.

Who's the really tall woman in the women's chase pack?

Sorry, Rojo...his commentary just seems more forced. If it keeps the average viewer interested it's probably worth it.

10th mile men in 4:52.

The other big news from the first half of the race was at the start one of the camera men zoomed in on women peeing on the Verrazano bridge.

Remember people if you're going to pee at the start of the NYC Marathon cameras can see you from a quarter or half mile away.

532 14th mile for Deba. Gains another 5 seconds. Anyone know the PR of the 2nd place girl? I don't have time to look it up, but if she gets second than Kiplagat can't win the $500,000 with a 2nd place showing. Jeptoo has to win.
