4:00	I know I got an extra hour from "fall back," but I don't feel it.		12:15	The Queensboro Bridge. Here's where it gets tough when you're not properly trained. Or any other time for that matter.
5:00	It's still dark, and I'm out the door. Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch.		12:30	Going downhill. I mean physically, although going down the far side of the bridge is nice too.
6:00	On the bus from the library to Staten Island.		12:45	Into Manhattan. In one sense, the hardest part of the course -- it's concrete instead of asphalt.
6:30	On Staten Island. I'm gonna be here forever!		1:00	Spanish Harlem. Where's the rose?
8:00	Still on Staten Island		1:15	The Bronx coming up. Not soon enough.
9:00	Still on Staten Island. See what I mean?		1:30	Into the Bronx, named after Samuel Bronck. I dunno, it seemed to be something to say.
9:45	Still on ... well, you get the idea.		1:45	Back in Manhattan. The final bridge is behind me. Feels good? You try it sometime.
10:20	And we're off. Of course, I've been a little off for a long time.		2:00	Nearing Central Park. The last legs. Actually, I'm on my last legs. Actually, I've been on my last legs for...
10:30	On the bridge. I can feel it wobble (it's pretty eerie).		2:15	I could fall down and roll to the finish. It's seriously tempting.
10:45	Fourth Avenue. It''s a long way to ... the next landmark.		2:30	I think I left my last legs behind on the course somewhere, but I'm not going back to find them.
11:00	Still on Fourth Avenue. Feels a little like Staten-- never mind.		2:45	Finally! Tavern on the Green and the finish line. Twenty-three in the books. Whew!
11:15	Finishing up Fourth Avenue, nearing the B'klyn Academy of Music (BAM).		3:00	The fun part -- staggering to the UPS truck to pick up my stuff.
11:30	Bedford Avenue. At least it's not Fourth Avenue. It's also uphill.		3:15	Next year is too far away to think about. Right now, I just want some food and some serious painkillers.
11:45	No funky turn here, because they changed the course in the Bronx.		Monday	More drugs, please!
12:00	The Pulaski Bridge, the halfway point, Queens! And, oh yes, the end of the morning.		Saturday	Training for #23 begins -- uh, sometime.
