This would be amazing... Unfortunately, their little Monday quest where you take a picture of yourself holding a specific marathon-approved item in the pavilion in Central Park is a little difficult when you're a teacher and you have an actual job and you only have from 9:00 AM 'til 1:00 PM... But I did submit a reason, so you never know...
