Nothing like seeing your name in the paper.
For many people, it is the thrill of a lifetime.
But for the group of 30,000 New York City Marathon finishers, this definitely adds to the pride that takes place when they hang that medal around your neck, cover you with aluminum-paper blankets, and give you the experience of a lifetime.
I know, as I have been a marathoner (16 marathons) and ran the glorious New York City Marathon three times. So sorry that The New York Times did not run the names of all the finishers then.
Take a look:
This is a great souvenir.
A fantastic remembrance for those finishers to take home and cherish for years to come.
The power of print—no matter how small.
Bravo to The Times for giving valuable print space to this project.

Other than being an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s School of Journalism, he also runs his own consultancy firm: García Media.
