He Did It!

Our boy Reissberg finished the New York City Marathon in a very impressive 3 hours 47 minutes and 55 seconds. Out of 39,000 runners he finished in 7922nd place. His pace was just under 9 minutes per mile, which over 26 miles is really incredible.
And more importantly he raised $4834.40 (who gave 40 cents?) for charity. You can still donate.

Finishing just 7 seconds ahead of Reissberg was Hans Schmid of California. As impressed as I am with Reissberg, I'd be more impressed if he can do it again in 39 years, when he is Mr. Schmid's age (67). Note: Reissberg is listed as 29 but he is still 28 for 6 more weeks.

Also finishing a few seconds ahead of Reissberg was a woman named Jessica Miller. Life's little coincidences. And Stacey Riccio a 33 year-old woman from Staten Island.

And finishing nearly 2 hours behind Reissberg coming in at 5 hours 29 minutes and 58 seconds was Katie Holmes. Yes, that Katie Holmes.

    The real Jessica Miller saw the fake Jessica Miller's time too. She was taunting me saying that she beat me.
