Just to clarify, I am the "Sean Taylor" that will [be attempting to] run the NYC marathon this Sunday. I am not the Washington Redskins safety that was recently arrested for driving under the influence. To the best of my knowledge, he has never logged in to the IRC under my screen name..
That being said, it would great to recognize people along the 26.2 mile race. I can't promise it will be interesting - but it might be. Oh, I am taking inspiration from a photo Eli Newell took while he was in Africa for my shirt design. So if you're watching the marathon, be on the lookout for someone that looks like...
Here are the approx times and locations I (fingers crossed) will be running by...

I will be running with my brother. He is a married doctor (and father) from Florida and a lot of girls find him attractive.
*All the times will most definitely be later than mentioned above as this is my 'target pace' which is a little bit faster than my 'training pace'. Also, with 30,000+ runners, it may take awhile before I even cross the starting line. Oh, and I may quit and cry myself to sleep somewhere along the way.
It would be great to see you out there but depending on when you see me, I might not be able to see you back (I predict my eyes will explode in mile 21).
