Since you have a "few" more to go, we should catch up with you at a future race.

Despite the rain, it was still fun hanging out with you. Hopefully, I'll run another with you sometime. For spectators, the NJ Marathon's double loop is nice. It guarantees you 4 spots to see your runner that are within about 2 blocks of each other. There are also lots of little shops and breakfast places near the boardwalk while you're waiting between passings. Using the satellite parking and shuttle bus worked out well for Ryan and Bethany, but I think the $5 was well worth it to park by the ballrooms (Something Resort & Spa) on the boardwalk. By the way, I'm glad to see I didn't damage your camera with all the rain! So when is number 10? Nice recap Kev! Despite the rain, it was still fun hanging out with you.
