2006 NYC Marathon Prep

Once again we're doing tissue/kleenex duty at the mile 14 water station on the ING New York City Marathon. We missed out last year for reasons I don't remember, otherwise I've done it every year since 2001 and I think Lisa did it earlier.

I've been doing some prep work: this year the NYRR has posted a nice arrival times chart and though I looked all over, I could not find the official start times which Lisa found quite easily under About the Start.

I usually pick up four - five cases of tissues at Costco. How many we use depends on how many people we have and what the weather is like. Cold and damp more tissues, warm and dry much less.

We will be somewhere in the stretch just past the mile 14 water station on Vernon Boulevard.
