Wordless Wednesday: Tower of Strength
Even the fastest marathon runners need support to keep themselves balanced.
It was great to see Meb Keflezighi, last year’s ING NYC Marathon winner (time 2 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds WOW), use Jared Fogel, with Subway and newbie marathon runner, as his support while stretching after a training session for this year’s marathon in November. It just shows you that no matter how advanced we may or may not be in our health and fitness stage, we all need support from time to time to keep us from stumbling.
I took this photo on Monday morning after our run in New York City with Jared, Meb, and dozens of people from media as part of the Commit to Fit Campaign!
What a great shot! And yes, we ALL need someone to lean on, even experienced marathoners. Love it.
Great photo. Did you get a cool Subway windbreaker?
No but I want one! We should have asked for one. Dang. It was the good kind, too!
We all need somebody…to lean on…
OMG! You got to meet Meb! I’m so so so jealous! He’s run (and won) a few of the marathons I’ve ran, but of course by the time I finish two hours later he’s long gone. Way to go!
Yes, Janice, you would absolutely LOVE him! He talked about his kids! He’s one of my new favorite people. VERY inspiring and just great!
Lisa, great shot. I love getting shots from another perspective that the other photogs don’t. Happy WW!
So glad you had a great time!
That is just awesome and just shows that people are still people no matter how great they seem to be.
Haha well it needed some splain’!
It is so true that everybody needs somebody. In fact, we rarely achieve anything single-handedly.
Quite wordy for a wordless Wednesday 😉
It looks like it was a lot of fun to be there!
