thereuare Posted December 29, 2003 Report Posted December 29, 2003 As always, thanks for the detailed mind-set behind the bidding strategy as well as the results.As you know, this is my 'backyard' and i can help with any planning you need to do in the area (perhaps a pasta dinner in Hoboken at Margheritas before the run?)Enjoy the run, my wife has qualified for the NYC Marathon and is currently debating whether to train for it or postpone it one year.... if/when she chooses to run it would be her second NYC marathon. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
TravelGuy Posted December 30, 2003 Author Report Posted December 30, 2003 I admire those marathoners. As for me, I'm basically finished after 10K :) Thanks for the offer of assistance. I'll e-mail you.
