Did the Wall St. Run. WOW. 17,000 had regged, with the rain, about 5,000 lost their balls, 12,000 did it. Hence the title. Fitting THIS many people through the streets of waaaaaaaay downtown was a fiasco. A wonderful fiasco, but a fiasco nontheless. Mr.G the weather guy was there, he's @ so many runs he's gotta be one of us. Ran into Vince, Sal, Irish Joe, Mike "Big Bird"-volunteering, David the SuperJew harassing some poor guy trying to convince him of some point or other (guy's got issues, n' I should know 'bout issues). A BIG premium was those sling bags-nice to keep your stuff dry, and Nintendo was giving out WI socks-cute. Merrill Lynch had over 6,500 employees signed up-walkers, but hey, they were there.
The rain actually stopped as we lined up, thanks G! Felt good for the first mile, then too warm, took off my jacket.
Did ok, took one piss break-hey-when you know your time is gonna suck/you're there to be there, it doesn't matter.
NICE job by Subway yet again. Can you imagine wraps for about 15,000 people, and we ARE gavoons. I walked away with a shitload. Propel as well.
Took the 8:15 home, in the door by 9. Not bad.
All in all, lots of fun, I'll be back.
