Sometimes people just have to rise to the occasion and to hades with the results! after all, patriots do what is asked of them.<BR/><BR/>Great articles!

We don't do them to prove that we're better than other people; we do them because we want to prove to ourselves that we can.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17100746061554733157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312523577164758716.post-67643458094254381272008-05-29T12:44:00.000-04:002008-05-29T12:44:00.000-04:00Very funny race report!

I will mention it at the Bar on Saturday.<BR/><BR/>I get a lot of weird looks when I tell folks I'm running a marathon but no one yet has said anything to me about Phedippdes. I don't think they even know enough about running to know who he is.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312523577164758716.post-79912804515439380142008-05-28T12:36:00.000-04:002008-05-28T12:36:00.000-04:00it was probably excessive chaffing that did him in...it was probably excessive chaffing that did him in.Robert Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989846919612674687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1312523577164758716.post-41146461558595452002008-05-28T11:11:00.000-04:002008-05-28T11:11:00.000-04:00I was sent an article recently that I keep meaning...I was sent an article recently that I keep meaning to blog about - from chinese medicine student about how TERRIBLE marathon running is and how they'd like to "properly" check out those people with 26.2 stickers on their cars. Honestly - all I can think is that they somehow feel threatened - why else get so worked up? Run a marathon or don't run one - no-one's making you...Petrarunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223283092182797048noreply@blogger.com
