The coolest thing ALMOST happened today.....

[JimB.]

I was visiting the Expo to pick up my packet for the 1/2 Marathon I am running tomorrow.

While going through the exhibits & vendors and trolling for free stuff, I came upon a booth for the Marine Corps Marathon in DC in October. I was talking with the 2 very nice & pretty young ladies who were working the booth. I said how I had really heard great things about their race & I hoped to run it soon.

Right there on the spot they offered me a free entry into the 2009 race if I could GUARANTEE that I could be there (for obvious reasons..). My brother lives in a 'burb of DC & it is the day before his birthday. BUT, unfortunately I was not sure if I could be there, so I could not take them up on the offer.

But it WAS cool to (for once) be in the right place at the right time. Maybe next year...........

Wow! That would have been cool. Too bad your job gets in the way of play.
