Marathon After-Party

The Party: Karen & Dave's NYC ING Marathon After-Party
Location: Jake's Dilemma (Upper West Side)
Total Party Count: 50

The day after Halloween was slow for partying, but I was determined to discover where da party at! Utilizing my life-long borderline-creepy internet research skills, I found out about Karen & Dave's Marathon After-Party! The facebook-invite-via-meetup.com-whippets-running-team-page said to head over to Jake's Dilemma, a bar on the Upper West Side, and make sure to tell them you're there for Karen's party.

With a private party bracelet now affixed to my wrist, I was surrounded by a bunch of strangers who just finished the marathon, and their friends! Would I be able to work this? Absolutely, because when you've just run 26.2 miles, you're probably more concerned about your legs falling off than whether or not I was actually invited to this party, plus why would anyone want to crash it?? That's kinda weird.  An awesome dude named Adler struck up a conversation with me and we talked about relationship problems and the importance of good character. And then under the guise of "I was supposed to meet my friends here but I got here too late....I'm always late to everything!" he introduced me to the entire Whippets crew. I even got to hang with Karen & Dave, and Dave's mom and sister and brother!




SO PROUD OF U DAVE!!!!!



Dashing Whippets, thanks for letting me crash your marathon party and eat your onion rings, you guys were awesome!! I'll be rooting for you at NYC ING Marathon 2010.

  1. I can't believe people run 26 miles and then go party. I think I would curl up into a fetal position in Central Park and not move for 24 hours.
