On a bitter cold January day, Memorial Milers Clarelle DeGraffe, Tom Grassi, Malik Goodson, Kamron Khan, Sochieta Moth and Paul Pietropaolo began their THIRD calendar year (2008, 2009, and now 2010!!!), with a team walk to the Skyscraper Museum located at the tip of Manhattan.
Since so much of what we lost and what we are rebuilding involves skyscrapers, this was another fascinating place right here in Lower Manhattan ($5 entrance fee) that we could walk to.

Tom & Malik get ready to head out on the January Memorial Miles team walk.
Kamron and Tom do a little racing to keep warm.
You can see the steel frame for the Tower One (Freedom Tower) rising in the background.
Getting ready to enter the museum, you can tell by the looks on our faces and the empty streets, it was really cold down at the tip of Manhattan Island! The wind whipping off the New York Bay cut through you like a knife.
Happy Memorial Miles inside the exhibit hall!
