So the NYC Marathon was on Nov 4. I don't much about that run other than it goes through all the different districts or boroughs (I think they are called). You know what I do know about it. That Katie Holmes ran it. It's all over the place. Any news article you read there she is. I'd be impressed if she was doing it for some cause and was rallying people to put the support behind______ (name charity). 
Or if she had some sort of traumatic event that she recovered from, or if she had new running record or was in the top 10. She was asked why she ran and she said "I wanted to lose all the baby fat."

I did scroll down and find out who did win. A lady from England who gave birth 9 months before ran and won with time of... get this 2 hours 23 min and 9 sec. that means she ran every mile at 5 min 28 secs. FOR 26.2 MILES!!!. And who gets their picture all over the place Katie Holmes. Lets look at her time 5 hours 29 min and 58 sec. I'm not hating on her time or work by any means she held a 12:35 min/mile pace. That's not bad. Shoot, finishing isn't that bad. But why are we talking about her. She placed 34165th (does this get a th or nd?)
The male who won did it in 2hours 9 mins 4 sec.
okay so I'm ranting but I know what it's like to work hard and run in some of these races. A Friend of mine told me that you don't get you name in the paper unless you are like top 10. Or you have an extreme home makeover story that will sell papers. I guess I'm just sick of the media.
But here's my new goal I'm going to beat Katie Holmes' time. That's my new new Marathon goal 5 hours 29 mins and 58 secs and I have my own tragic story. I'm fat and have asthma and I'm overcoming it. So there take that!
stupid media!

Step away from the soapbox! :)
Just kidding! Oh, when you do finish the marathon you're asked how it was you have to say that it was "amazing" just like Katie Holmes!
I'll tell you what bothers me. People leaving nasty remarks on my blog. You know the kind. On their blog they have a pictue of themself with a pet, say a dog. But their wife has a picture of her and her husband. Do you know the type?
5 hours 29 mins and 58 secs

I think she cheated!!!
GO JEREMY GO ...
Highly amusing ending if I do say so myself.
You know, you really shouldn't use the word stupid. Children might be reading or listening and we wouldn't (cough)want(cough)them to repeat it(cough, cough). Where ever did you learn such language?
Preach it brother!!! I also was highly annoyed by all her publicity. I mean do you think the lady who won was "trying to loose the baby fat?" Anyone who finishes should be put in the paper in my opinion, but lets put things in perspective. Finishing in 2+ hours 9 months post pardum or finishing in 5+ hours 18 months post pardum...
