The most amazing time ever! This was my first marathon and it was everything I could have wanted it to be. I am a slow runner took me over 6 hours so even if you are slow or a beginner you can do it! New York Road Runner is out there

The race organization was pretty good. The weather the morning of the run created an awesome scene with just a gentle coating of snow on everything. The course is a loop with some small hills which go through nice neighborhoods.

Overall I would do this race again, only thing was

Four years ago, this was my first marathon so it will always hold a special place in my heart! Great cheerleaders on the side lines, relatively flat course and great aide stations. The course is constantly changing and I wasn't a huge fan of the Pentagon parking lot this year before
