Nice job on the marathon. And the odds of finding a coworker in a crowd of 25000 aren't too good.

She saw me first . I did not see her , that is why I only got a picture of her going away. She would also tell me later I was the only person she saw on the course who she knew.

Great job documenting the race. My son is a runner and did his first marathon in Chicago last year. I don't really understand why anyone wants to put their body through that kind of torture, but than I do some thing a lot of people don't understand too. At any rat you did a first rate job with your images.
