There are many things that are making me run, but damn if I can't wait to get one of these around my neck.In order to earn one of these, we will be finishing the marathon under the 6 hour limit. It is my understanding that the Paris Marathon is notable for the attractive route through the heart of the city of Paris, and for the food and drinks stations which include wine, beer, cider and oysters. This makes me wonder: if I find the GU shots to cause digestive upheaval, how will my body respond to the oysters with beer chaser??? Perhaps I will have to test that out on my next long run.

Not to be a hater, but I would have expected something a bit more, um, chic. Let's hope that this year's version has a little more of that je ne sais quoi...Who'd you steal this one off anyway? Can you keep it in case on of us creeps in over 6 heures?
ReplyDeleteI found the picture on the internet - (hope the soul who posted it doesn't mind.) I think it will be up to us provide the 'something a bit more.' AND, we will creep in under 6 heures, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteYou know what... it's growing on me. That whole Arc de Triomphe there with the crowd running up to it is pretty cool, and it IS my dream to run on the Champs Elysée without getting killed by traphic... so I rescind my hatism.
ReplyDeleteI mean, traffic.
ReplyDeleteWait, you mean you can stop for beer, wine and food during the run? That sounds like a marathon I can get behind. :)
