Well, good, I'm glad he's going to run it. Is he fast? Do I need to beat him too? 
He doesn't train and he is sickly fast. His longest training run for Chicago was 8 miles, which he ran once, and he ran a crazy adventure race the weekend before (so no taper) and he kept up with the 3:30 pacers until mile 15. Don't you wish you were 23 again?! Maybe him and Jimmy can take turns running people in!
I do today what you won't, so tomorrow I do what you can't.

What happened after mile 15? What was his finish time? Inquiring minds want to know! 
And I kinda sorta wish I were 23 again. . . but not really. I was poor, inexperienced, and a little too idealogical then.
Obsessed with running and racing. It's all about the bling, baby! Suck it up and RUN!

Weren't we all just a tad idealogical at that age?
I dunno, Charlotte, the last time I spoke for "all" I got pretty well flamed.

I deferred MCM last year for NYC, so I've been in since January, but good reminder thread for everyone! If I hit the NYC lottery for the second year in a row, things get complicated. Odds are high that I'm in for MCM though. I didn't want to do back-to-back weekends last year with it being my first NYC... but (if selected) as my second??
Yo Craig...i'm on the NYC Lottery too. Have you run MCM? I've got a lot of family in NYC who live a block off the NYC route in Brooklyn. compare the experiences (10 points)
Happy Running!

Knees fell apart and his time was 10 minutes slower than my MCM time (muah-haha). Best part was his mom was the one who pointed it out!
I think being at war has resolved the downsides of being 23... being a contractor makes him rather wealthy and being a vet makes him neither inexperienced nor ideological. He's an old soul.

Hmmm.... contractor, vet, no longer ideological... sounds familiar. :-p
Except I'm not 23!
But good to know the 23 year old bonked. Let's see if he can beat this "old" man at MCM (or anywhere!)
