Pittsburgh Marathon 2017

Posted on May 7, 2017July 17, 2019
BLT #131, it’s like the half marathon point of big long things, at the cleverly named Pittsburgh Marathon in the Steel City, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. What does a week of rest get me? 4:10 on a hilly course through Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods. Pittsburgh is a place where big-hearted people genuinely love their city, are active participants in making it a better place, and know how to enjoy themselves. If you don’t already love it, the marathon will make you fall in love with this city. Big thanks to 50 stater John Titus for putting me up for the night and the Pittsburgh Frontrunners generally for their hospitality. Fun fact: Pittsburgh, at the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela River to form the Ohio River has more bridges than Venice, and more bridges that may be crossed in a vehicle than any city in the world. Amsterdam and Hamburg have more pedestrian bridges.
Start line photo. Amanda Adkins I can’t tell you how much use I have gotten out of this hat. 😉
My inner engineer’s heart skips a beat when I see bridges like these. Many an afternoon doing Statics homework.
Another not so great photo on the run of the Carnegie Music Hall. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Go to mile marker 13. I know, different Carnegie Hall.
Ah! My people…
a not so great on the run photo of the science museum.
#Truth and just what you need to see at mile 23.
A couple of Maniacs from Austin.
We’re with the band…
How have I actually never seen this sign before?
Lisa Overton Fricke’s people. 🙂
The Ballet.
Crowd support in Pittsburgh is amazing.
This one’s for Caleb Ben-Avram. Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup!
