What were you doing at mile 26?

November 3, 2009

I haven’t watched The Late Show with David Letterman in years.  It’s been so long his show was on a different network and the public didn’t know about his lusty ways with female staff members.   Until this clip started circulating amongs runners I had totally forgotten about The Top Ten List.  Last night Meb Keflezighi presented the “Top Ten Thoughts That Go Through Your Mind When Running The New York City Marathon” on .  Meb won the 2009 New York City Marathon in 2.09.15.  Now he’s famous (in some circles) and $170,000 richer.  Damn, I need to start running faster.  I caught two glimpses of Meb during his Monday press tour - stepping out of his limo at Tavern on the Green and during an interview for NBC (I was on a studio tour at the time of his interview).  I’m not one to attach meaning to random encounters, but I think his following me around NYC is a good omen. 

The link for the video on CBS, for in case the YouTube clip is shut down.

    Loved #1! Okay, tv-junkie, do you watch Modern Family? You’ll love the most recent episode called “run for your wife.” Would you ever “let” the hubby win? ;)

      I don’t, but I will seek it out on line. I love when TV and running collide!

      I know, it’s my favourite. Although more suited to our local races than NYC. I think that’s one of the few things I didn’t see.

    That was great- I can’t stay up late enough for the Late Show;
    Congrats on your BQ finish time, btw.
