To an outside observer, wearing a 2007 ING NYC Marathon shirt isn't ironic, since I'm running it. However, I ran the marathon as a covertly ironic statement, thus rendering said shirt ironic.

That's because I was fighting cancer. Also, the shirt was free.

i'm sorry . . . i know you were running for a great cause and all, but nice shot of your "bulge." or perhaps that is where your ipod was tucked.

WTF? is this a common thing at marathons? why would the organizers do that? i'd definitely need some auditory stimulation to make it through 23 miles.

nkotb, congrats again - huge achievement!

ipods are banned at most races now. I ran in the goblin gallop 5K in Fairfax a few weeks ago… However, everyone still does it. I mean, what are they going to do… tackle you on the pavement and wrestle away your tunes? I don't think so…

I heard rumors they were banned, especially after Chicago; apparently a lot of runners ignored or didn't hear the advice to slow down and/or stop due to the headphones. Still, I say tons of people with them, and never once heard a single person say they shouldn't be used.

On a related note, my Shuffle decided to stop working that fucking morning, so I ran in silence the whole way. God bless the crowds for support and bands playing on the streets.

P.S. Walkonby, thanks for noticing. I think :eek:

why is your mind in the gutter????? the man is running a marathon for cancer and all you can think about is a "bulge". Maybe you need some healing of the sexual kind.

Because, and I say this from personal experience, when you're on a 5 hour pace, you're barely running.

Congrats, nkotb. You've hit another milestone. You got married, you ran a marathon, you got a puppy. What's next, a baby?
