A New York City Marathoner Tells Us Where It Hurts, When It Hurts

Grant Burningham, a producer for the NYTimes.com, interrupts his running of the New York City Marathon to run his mouth, and what comes out is anxiety, thrills, and some serious pain– all good stuff. Burningham gives us five live audio reports: one from the starting line, one from the 8.5 mile marker, one from the 17.5 mile marker, one from 21 mile marker, and yes, one desperate attempt to speak as he crosses the finish line.
