:(

Said goodbye to Britt last night - she is flying to UK today. Was great to catch up and meet Ali. 

We are in San Fran waiting for our long haul to Auckland. Have loved the trip but home is looking great.

Marathon time... Again

A very early start to the day 4.30 but the first runners didn't get the gun til 9.40 and the last 10.55 :( it was freezing. Harder course than Chicago so we are very happy with times. Stephen 3.21 Richard 4.10 Wendy 4.38. 

Home for a rest tomorrow...

Unfinished Business

Ahhh missed out on the Cronut. A trek to the store produced this and we had to settle for ice cream

Empire State Building

At dusk...from the observatory 

Bryant Park

At my favourite park in NYC with some favourite people :) Kelly ran the 5 km this morning. Nick beat her tho ( and everyone else)

Mug shots

NYC

Yippee we have made it to our final destination and so has Brittney :)

Red Sox win

We have enjoyed being in North America for the World Series. Great tv viewing when we had time. There were lots of Boston Strong tshirts and posters at the Chicago marathon and even in Canada there is a lot of feeling that it is great Boston can celebrate a sporting event. 

Quarter Acre Dream

I have decided that living as we do in NZ has many benefits. Wednesday evening we had to endure a piercing alarm and intermittent messages from security as the fire alarm had been activated. Not very comfortable when you are on the 43rd floor and the lifts are no longer in use. Three fire engines came and found burnt food on the 44th floor - the only one above us :(
