I participated in the Brooklyn Half Marathon. This was my first run of this kind. It was the largest half marathon in the country this year with over 28,000 participants. We started near the Brooklyn Museum, went alongside and through Prospect Park, and then went out Ocean Parkway to Coney Island. There was a great spirit to the whole event, with a wide variety of people out enjoying the run.

I ran slowly due to an injury but am glad I showed up and completed this. There were a lot of people cheering us on through the route, especially in Prospect Park. I wore a t-shirt I got back in 2015 when Aimee and I got married up in Canada. Several people shouted, “We love Canada!” at me.
