"Marathons are run with the heart"

I packed my Canon Powershot in my fuel belt and went for a training run around Central Park, and only logged 2 miles because I spent most of the time photographing park bench plaques. These have motivated and inspired and uplifted me since I became a neighbor of this park in December 2006, and I wanted to share them with others, no matter where you run. I photographed about 75 of them, and here are a handful. Hope you like them. The first one is my favorite. It is parallel to the NYC Marathon finish line.
