Why Columbus?

The 2008 Columbus Marathon is tomrrow - Come out and Cheer them on

Every year my family and I like to wake up early on Marathon Sunday, walk to the end of our street and watch thousands of people run by as we clap and cheer them on.  The end of our street is pretty much exactly the one mile mark of the Columbus Marathon.  Everyone is pretty much still together at this point of the course and it’s really an amazing site — runners as far as you can see extending down Broad Street toward downtown Columbus and toward Bexley. The air is chilly, the scene is always quiet and the sound of thousands of footfalls is simply amazing. 

There is a steady stream for an unusually long time, then we pick up articles of clothing that the runners have discarded, put them in a pile and head home. We’re home by 8:30 or so every year. What a great way to start the day.
