I know you wouldn’t expect a post like this on It can be a Lover but I couldn’t refrain myself from sharing it. For the people in NYC who had the chance to watch the marathon live, you know what I’m talking about. The NYC marathon it’s not just a bunch of runners sharing the same path, it’s magical, I would define it as an event of pure inspiration. The concentration, the passion and the gazes of the runners are something that you can’t feel watching the marathon on tv. You have to get on the streets, and get together, and cheer for them and you’ll see all the love people give them. It’s indescribably . I saw people crying, bleeding, laughing but still all focused on their final goal. I know that I would have hugged them all of I could. You will not regret it, next year, if this one you were not there, go out and cheer for the runners. They’ll deeply and irreversibly inspire you.
