Today: In a New York minute.

This weekend my friend Kristine and I completed our second Revlon/EIF Run for Women.  The event races money for research on and prevention of cancer in women.  With over 30,000 people participating, Times Square was a  sea of runners and walkers.  A few scenes from the pre-race festivities (and pre- the death of my camera battery).

The pre-race festivities included a performance by Trey Songz and appearances by the likes of Dr. Oz, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba.  We missed the Soul Tigers Marching Band (one of my favorite parts of last year’s race), though… but we’ll be back next year.

The course begins in Times Square and enters Central Park at 7th Avenue and ends with an expo and survivors’ ceremony for the courageous women (and men, I’m sure) who’ve participated in the event, and have battled cancer of one form or another.

I consumed more than my fair share of pop chips and between the two of us, Kristine and I sampled every flavor of hint water on the planet, and then we set off for a 5k stroll back to Port Authority.  Had we lingered just a few hours longer, we would’ve been in Times Square for the attempted car bombing.  In a New York minute (oooh), anything can change.

Thank God for heroes.
