Barking Mad To Run
Of course, I am far from being outraged at what Self did. In fact, I would have laughed had I not known the story behind it. But if I were the woman whose picture was used in the issue, I'd be pretty pissed off too.
Agreed. Nothing wrong with poking fun at yourself once in a while, a sense of humor can help keep you going too. If they had told her up front what kind of story they had in mind and she had agreed, it would have been a whole different thing. Nope, they just blind-sided her.

Well, apparently Self helped her as well without knowing it lol.
You might think Jesus would have a hard time running with that cross, but I bet he nailed it

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Are we there, yet?
Keep wearing those tutus, ladies!
What about the men?
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
A man who rocks a tutu during a race is definitely a real man
Some men are really pretty in pink. And fast too! (he's a friend of yours, George, isn't he?)

Paging SirDizzy...
Yes, and also a multi-time finisher at both Badwater and Western States.
Three pic minimum.
based on the single pic it's hard to tell, but I'd probably vote hot for wonderwoman.
Not for the leprechaun.
Not for the patriotic gal.
Not for Keith.

Faux Rage!
You people have issues
Technically, the leprechaun and patriotic gal are the same ladies and the fact that she has great legs for her age probably says she was one hell of a looker in her day. She's a sweet heart too.
And what about Superwoman? The girl next to Wonderwoman?

Hot enough.
Oh, I officially change my vote on wonderwoman to, Meh, because she's using a handheld at a marathon with aid stations every 1.08 miles.
mta: seriously, I just looked at the course again. There are 24 official aid stations! The farthest you had to run without an A.S. is the first two miles. After that, nothing is further apart than a mile.
