The winner of today's Chicago Marathon slipped and fell just as he reached the tape. He had to be driven off in a golfcart. I hope he's okay enough to enjoy his winnings. He just made $125,000.00 in 2 hours and 7 minutes and 35 seconds.
At mile 24 of the marathon, I was feeling fine. That's because I didn't run the race. I just went to watch and cheer.
Mostly I cheered for people who met the following 2 conditions:
1) No headphones
2) Name on shirt
That way I could call their name ("Go Joe!) and they would actually hear me.
Maybe later in the year
Someplace far away from here
I'll run and someone else can cheer.

ReplyDeleteLAUGHED OUT LOUD!! Brilliant!
Ha. Glad you liked that one. I was struck by how miserable-but-happy most of the runners looked.
