A big y’yasher kochech to Fresh Samantha on completing the NYC Marathon in her first attempt!
Her overall time of 8:24:51 earned her a close 34,649 place overall, 11,701 for women, and 2,906 for her age group.
8.5 hours of running – I’m getting tired just thinking about it. If you have a spare moment, pop on over to her site and share the love.
Congrats Samantha!

With eight posts last week, I think it may be time to change your tagline! (Either that, or start slacking off again. Though I guess it’s still “sometimes,” technically speaking.)
Looks like you’re opting for my second option. :-)
You can WALK a marathon at 3.5 mph and finish it in less time 7 and a half hours to be more precise. My point is that it was NOT 8.5 hours of running, and would not/ should not tire you out all that much.
