I love this photograph so much, I might have to buy a copy from Getty. The girl sitting on the post? Totally the leader of the pack.

I'm kind of surprised they were allowed to watch, as not too long ago the Hasidic community tried to have female bike riders banned from the neighborhood for indecency

As Hannah, in her blue coat and eggplant sweater, stared at the runners, sweating and puffing their way through the city, all she could think was "I am sooo gonna beat all their asses in a few years." #newyorkcitymarathon

The girl in the middle of the left-hand group has a facial expression that fills me with terror and and inspires instant obedience. I know that face. It's Jewish Bish Plz. It says 'Your hat is is inappropriate, and by the way the whole congregation knows you had a bacon sandwich for breakfast.' #newyorkcitymarathon

Some of these comments make me think that maybe not everyone is aware of how Hasidic people dress? I grew up in NY near one of the largest Hasidic communities in the US, so I'm always thrown off when someone gapes at Hasidic people, or asks if they're Amish. #newyorkcitymarathon

@EarlyGrey:
I read the comments below and didn't get that at all. I think people were mainly noting how cute and put together all these girls look. #newyorkcitymarathon

In an attempt to thwart their lunch money getting stolen, these girls have adopted P. Diddy's new line of Urban Camouflage, allowing them to blend into nearby graffiti and storefronts. #newyorkcitymarathon

All the little sidebows and headbands and sensible clothing made me think those little girls were filming some sort of period piece.

ADORBS. #newyorkcitymarathon

Any other Jezebels run yesterday? (I did.) Anyone else get chills on 1st Ave with all those screaming people? Anyone else feel like the last couple of miles were measured inaccurately because they sure felt a hell of a lot longer than all the other ones? #nycmarathon

@evilqueenmagda: Me! First Ave was crazy, especially in contrast to the dead silence as you're going up the Queensboro. Hearing the screams from the distance was got me...man.

Also, mile 23 is evil. For all the talk about what a brutal course Boston is, NY seemed harder to me from a tactical aspect. Stealth hills are tougher than obvious ones. #nycmarathon

@tankearae: Seriously. The hills were brutal. Hills all up in mile 25 as well, which I didn't appreciate.

But yeah. The silence on the bridge only emphasized the sound of thousands of pounding feet. #nycmarathon
