Yes I can read, I read all your ******** rationalizations.
They don't hold water.
Yes I have been to the big show, a long time ago when I was
younger and faster, and maybe someday I'll get to go again
and if I do it will be because I earned it.
Since morals, ethics and legality don't seen to faze you
then how about the simple facts. They paid, one way or
another they paid, the BAA has x amount of resources for
the runners who paid who they (the BAA) are expecting.
Everything from the cups for the water to the cops manning
the intersections. If you have run any marathon then you
must know that not all of those who start before you finish
before you, so the first time you grab a cup of water you
are taking something away from somebody who deserves it
more than you. The very fact that you are taking up space
on a course and the limelight that rightfully belongs to
someone who deserves it should be cause for pause, but it
probably won't so go ahead and run it and while you are out
there try to keep a nice sharp picture of Rosie Ruiz in
mind. Sermon over.
