The ING New York Marathon Expo

Went at the first day of the expo. People were mostly foreigners as the real New Yorkers are still at work.

So far, this is the best race packet distribution and expo that I have been to. Hopefully, we could have something like this in Manila.

PS. Will come back on Saturday with my friends so they can have a feel of the marathon themselves. And, to bribe them to make posters for me. HAHAHA.

I'm In, We're In..... In New York


I am finally in New York. Been in the US since Saturday and have been seeing relatives, sights and everything. From places and places, you can see random Marathon good lucks and posters and it keeps me excited. Today, I am claiming my marathon kit at the Javits Center. *excited* Hope to see fellow Pinoys there!
