Oh
! My God Story NO. 57
New York City Marathon.
New York City Marathon is held every year in November.
Thirty thousand people from all over the world will participate in this
marathon.
Fifteen thousand people which is a half of the participant
are from ninety different
countries.
I haven't participated in this competition
yet.
But last year, I mingled with two million five hundred thousand people
to cheer runners in New
York City.
It was very impressive
to see the faces of
runners after they completed marathon.
It wasn't how long it took. ???
They all looked fulfilled.
By the way, I have a musician friend Nobu.
He participates in NYC marathon every year.
He told me once about NYC marathon.
There are two things that I still remember.
One is that many male marathon runners pee on Queensboro bridge.
They see East River right underneath the bridge.
They must feel great.
Another story is that
nipples of male runners
under T shirt swell and become red
after running for so
long.
So they put a lot of vaseline on their nipples.
I don't remember anything else but these two stories.
I would like to give my advise
to those who are planning
to participate in NYC marathon.
If you participate in NYC marathon,
you should pee on the
bridge looking down East River.
Then apply vaseline on your nipples otherwise your nipples will swell.
Another....? That's all.
