Top Ten Reasons to Be a Marathon Runner In Training!
10- To experience the joy of seeing a deer with a large set of antlers staring at me after I have assumed a somewhat awkward position in the Fox Bay woods.
9- To experience the peanut butter and jelly on a cinnamon bagel at the Beagle Bagel at least once a month.
8- To appreciate those "special" people like the one who threw a full bottle of Gatorade out the window and into our path as Suzanne and I crossed the Causeway.
7- To feel an uncontrollable desire to pick up mushed Sports Beans on the trail with the desperate hope that they will speed me up.
6- To see Carol sprinting from the Fox Bay Fire Station bathroom and back onto the trail, and still beating me to the finish line.
5- To run alongside Chuck, Phil, and Kelvin and laugh so much I have to slow down.
4- To feel like the luckiest person alive when I finally make it to the first bathroom stop at the boat ramp.
3- To run at 5 a.m. in the dark, wearing a headlight with Sally beside me wearing sunglasses.
2-To spend time with strangers who have become great friends, but can't remember each other's names when we're fully clothed and not sweating.
1- To enjoy the best group of people I will ever hope to meet and be a part of fighting the good fight and remaining strong to the end.

I couldn't have said it better. I think you will need to come up with the top ten for our experiences in the race! Suzanne
Way to go! I really will have to hear more about that "Dear w antlers" story!
These are great! You could work for David Letterman doing his Top Ten List. Best of luck Sunday. Yes, it's this Sunday! I'll be thinking about you. You'll do great!
That's a great list! Good luck on Sunday. See you in Chicago!
I am so humbled to be in your top 10 list, even higher than the awkward position in the woods! Woo-hooo!
Excellent - especially #3; headlight vs. sunglasses.
Ditto what the Chuck-Meister wrote. It's an honor to act like an idiot for your laughing pleasure.......
amen,, ill miss the beagle bagle thing we will do it again!
