I ran NYC in '99 and '01 - 4:16 and 4:19 respectively. It was a great experience, and I would like to do it again to go sub 4:00.
Quick question for you all re: weighted vests. I am looking to purchase one but I don't know anything about makes, models, features, a good place to buy one, etc. There are some models on Amazon, but I am kind of clueless. Anyway, I have been rehabbing a shoulder injury, and my dr. just greenlighted me buying one. Thanks!

Wow, sorry to be Debbie Downer after all these super cute babies, upcoming nuptials, and righteous PR's...
But I just got the call from my Dr. - I had an MRI on my right shoulder - torn labrum! We are gonna sit down and go over things next week (on a biz trip now), but seems like getting scoped is my best option based on my discussion with him. Anyone got any experience with this? Success stories? Thanks.

Great WOD today. Thanks Fox, especially for helping me on my DL form.
23:55 rx'd. 135# for my DL's, and I counted my attempts for the doubles. Still, I was stoked that I was able to nail 18 doubles on the last pass, especially considering how gassed I was.
Also, I did a 20" box with a 45# plate on it, which I think is ~ 24". I need to get myself really on top of that thing, in the middle of the middle next time.
I did hang tough on the push-ups though, and I am kind of proud of that, as my R shoulder is jacked up. MRI on 3/18, fingers crossed.
I like NYC tap water (never order bottled in restaurants), and allegedly it is very good re contaminants. But at home, I use a Brita filter. I also drink a lot of seltzer - I find it refreshing as I don't really like soft drinks - too sweet etc. Beer and coffee are also staples, fwiw.
