Pawcasting From The NYC Marathon 2013

Written By: Schmitty The Weather Dog | November 09, 2013

Holy Sweat Suit!  It’s been a year since the NYC Marathon was cancelled because of  Super Storm Sandy.  Now New York and the world were ready to run the NYC Marathon once again.

I dusted off my red, white and blue USA running jacket to pawcast the weather with Meteorologist Ron Trotta from the finish line of the NYC Marathon and rub elbows with runners from all over the world.

Here’s a recap of my Marathon Weekend – whatever that means:

Friday night Meteorologist Ron and I pawcast the weather from the finish line during the opening ceremonies of the 2013 NYC Marathon.   I overheard folks say I looked like a puppet.  I don’t think I looked like a puppet.  Do you?

 

 

Personally I think napping for 3 hours trumps running 26.2 miles anytime!

With 50,000 humans running in the NYC Marathon this year, there were lots of runners hanging out in Central Park on Saturday all excited about the big race the next day.

Hanging out at the finish line with Allison from the running group, Reservoir Dogs. Gotta love that name.

This is as close as Meteorologist Ron will ever get to the NYC Marathon finish line.  BOL!

Sunday, the day of the NYC Marathon, and I was more excited than a puppy in a butcher shop!

Getting ready for the big race. NYC Marathon pass. Check. Orange ING horn and hat. Check. Matching orange sneakers. What!

I even invited my BFF, Munchkin to join me to watch the big race.

Well dressed spectators are important to any race.  At least that what I tell myself.  Arf-Arf!

Never hurts to kiss/lick up to the NYC Marathon press gals.

Waiting at the finish line with sidekick Meteorologist Ron, BFF Munchkin, and author Elly McGuire. Who knew marathons could be so much fun!

Congrats to good friend & PR guru, Dana Humphrey for finishing the NYC Marathon. Bets she's ready for a nap!  Arf-Arf!

That’s the latest poop on NYC Marathon 2013.  I think I’ll go for a run.
