Feeling the growl again

    Just sick.  I'm hoping some of our people check in soon.  The clock said 4:09 so people like mbehr and BadDawg were long gone by then.

     

    I know so many people there today I can't even make a complete list in my head.

     

    MTA:  bhearn and Nemo have reported from the bar.  If I were them I'd tell the bartender to leave the bottle.

      Just seen this - people are fucked up. I hope its not as bad as it looks.

        There are so many cameras at the finish.. Terrible.

          Yes, some people are freaking nuts.   And it does sound bad.

            Ain't been here in a while, but hoping everyone from here is OK and that injuries are minimal Sad

              My "real world" running group is going crazy right now.  Finally got confirmation for them--but I'm worried about my internet friends, too.

               

              This is awful.

              "When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem."

                Jeez.  So wrong.  Thoughts and prayers for everyone affected.

                      My babysitter has a friend whose niece was running.  They got a call and she is in critical condition.  Her husband and two kids were supposed to watch her at the finish line, and nobody has heard from them yet.

                        OMG how horrible!  Will keep her in thoughts and prayers and hope her family is ok at least!

                          I am at a loss for words.  Very sad.

                          Not at it at all. 


                          Feeling the growl again

                            I have a message in to goodman, but his phone did ping facebook within the past hour. He may have already been almost to the airport by then.

                             

                            MTA:  Posting on facebook recently, he must be okay.

                              Sitting in the airport going to DC and the images on tv seem like some bad movie. I'm glad the RA contingent is safe. I was thinking that this stuff was left to the Olympics (72 and 96) but I guess there are no boundaries with these loons. Indy mini was quick to send out a safety message yesterday. I know I will be more vigilant in future races.
