New York was everything I dreamed it would be and the last couple of days back in Canada, I have sat back and tried to soak up what just happened. Being in New York on marathon weekend was special in itself, but to also be there for the election was out of this world. We were in Rockefeller centre to see America elect its first African American President and I was awe struck by Obama`s speech, it will be a night that will live on in my memory for a long time to come.

Being able to share this time with Tanya and close friends made the experience that extra special and will definitely return one day. I am piecing together my thoughts and will post an account of the marathon in the next couple of days, watch this space.
