ING New York City Marathon Mobile Spectator App

When I think really hard about when my love affair with running began, I'd have to say it began with witnessing the ING New York City Marathon first hand. At the time, the company I worked for sponsored the wheel chair division of the race so I had to accompany a photographer all 26.2 miles to follow these athletes. The race will always have a special place in my heart and I try to watch it every year. This year isn't any different. On Sunday, Nov. 6, I will watch the race. The only problem is I typically end up skipping church/losing four hours of my day. The folks at MapMyRun have the perfect solution. Check out their new New York Marathon Mobile Spectator app. Not only can I track the race, I can track Black Girls RUN! members that are racing! Win-win!
