Who else is in NYC Marathon?

Looks like we'll be in NYC in November.

I'll run it this year, and apparently UJ plans to as well.

I've spectated it since we moved a block from the course in Brooklyn in
2001. It's not like I went out and ran ten miles the next day, but
watching those runners that first year, as I smoked Merits and drank
cocktails, planted a seed which eventually germinated.

Only problem - it's a mere two weeks after my Ironman (Great
Floridian) triathlon in October. Ouch.

Ouch indeed.

Wow, Pippy, you're like a palm reader among all your other talents!

In prior years I had also smoked all kinds of stuff including, let's
see,

Newports
Marlboro (lights, medium, and reds at various times)
Camels (lights, non-filtered)
Pall Mall
Chesterfield
generic
hand-rolled

What do each of those say about the smoker?

Thanks!

You forgot Weed, crack, heroin, and hashish.

I did say "including", I didn't say it was a comprehensive list.

Well lets break it down by brand.

A gay sea captain.
A gay cowboy.
A gay [censored].
A gay man with no taste.
A gay cowboy again.
A gay cheap-[censored].

I better go break the news to my wife.

And to yours; she may have trouble believing it, after all we've been
through.

My wife and her two running friends got in and I have my deferred
entry from last year.

Hint, run slowly, not that it will be much of a choice. 🙂

On a sad note, I read that Grete Waitz has been diagnosed with cancer
and is being treated in Norway.

What is is truly sad, we can generate billions money for Iraq but can't
find enough for medical research, education or health reform. Ya gotta
love our priorities.

My friend if we don't solve the "iraqi equation" we won't NEED any of those
pansy liberal programs you're interested in funding. Saddam was at our door
with a hundred million nukular weapons pointing right into our way of life.
Education is overrated! Your boy doenst need to know much to stop a bullet.

No choice at all, LOL.

Fortunately, we're all looking at this as an "event," not a race, so
something around 5 hours is quite likely. More like a tour of NY than
anything else, staying together with the slowest of our group.

One of the nice aspects of this tour is that you run through Brooklyn, Staten
Island and Queens in the first part of the race -- where you're still conscious
enough of your surroundings to enjoy it.
