Tuesday Time-Waster: NYC Marathon in sketches

Last week’s 11:11 a.m. Tuesday Time-Waster didn’t happen because I was gallivanting around New York City, when I wasn’t running 26.2 miles through it along with 47,000 other crazies.

During the marathon, I saw people from more countries than I can count. I saw people in all kinds of outfits, including the four people wearing lacy yellow underwear over their black running tights. Late in the race, I passed a guy in a hot pink sasquatch-like costume, but my friend Erin later informed me that a guy dressed as grapes — covered in purple balloons — was far ahead of me.

One guy I wish I could have seen was the New York Times cartoonist who sketched his way through the marathon, posting photos of the drawings to Twitter.

Valid concerns!

Go look at his blog post that I linked up there. It’s pretty fantastic, and definitely worth a few minutes of your Tuesday.
