I am tired and I am over-stimulated, but I’m going to do my best to get this trip/race report out of my head before my brains seep out of my ears and blend into the floor. I am going to do this in segments today so I don’t make your eyes bleed with all of my inappropriate commas and apostrophes in one giant post. So check back often.
Linda and I arrived in NY on Friday with no problems and met up my sister Amy at the airport. We were greeted with a tradition NYC taxi ride to our hotel in Times Square. It was everything I imagined it would be – scary. Times Square was also everything I imagined it would be – busy, dirty and bright. Exciting, but not my favorite part of NYC.
We immediately jumped right into things and grabbed a bite to eat at a Greek restaurant close to our hotel; we changed into our shiny red boots and went to see the musical Wicked. It was very good, but nothing like the book and I had to work really hard to separate the two. Basically if take out half the characters, all the sex, and 90% of the plot, and turn it into a comedy you got yourself the musical version of the book. Okay, so I still can’t get over Nessarose having arms, that’s just wrong.
We met up with my marathon buddy Marta after the show for dessert and coffee and then headed back to the hotel for the only good night of sleep I got.

sweet boots.
more please…
My friend and I were just having a conversation about the differences between the book and musical (I have only read the book and she has only seen the musical) – I was trying to explain “well, I imagine there isn’t as much sex in the musical” and she was replying “what? there is sex in the book? with who!?” We never even got to the whole arm/no arm issue
Susan- it was AWESOME to see you out there!!! As soon as you ran up beside me I knew it was you immediately! How cool was that! Congrats on your finish- way to rock it out. And yeh- the Queensborough bridge sucked big time! LOL!
Hot red boots on Runner Susan go Broadway. Absolutely wicked!
OMG I WANT those boots!
while I agree that the musical is not much like the book at all. I can’t help loving the show. The music is so good! I can’t help singing along and getting pumped up every time I hear Defy Gravity or No good Deed. I was spoiled though and when we saw the show Idina Menzel was still playing Elphaba and was absolutely amazing.
had you run in those boots, you would have broken 5!
The missing commas and apostrophes were fine, but what about the missing “you” in “Basically if take out”?
