I will be in on this contest,

I will be in on this contest, but probably won't win since the country I live in doesn't do Halloween like that and I will also be doing my taper that week for a marathon on the 5th.
 
There's a marathon here on

There's a marathon here on the 30th, if I were to run that barefoot and in costume I would get a lot of points... too bad that isn't going to happen, maybe I'll be to that point next year!
 
Game on is right! I am back

Game on is right! I am back to defend my title. I have the Marine Corps Marathon on the 30th again and plan on doing some heavy drinking on Sunday and Monday! Who's in for the challenge? If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them here or message me.

Who wil be running in costume??

Every year I say I'm going to

Every year I say I'm going to wear a costume for this race, they even have a costume contest I think. Maybe this is the year? I just need to come up with something fitting of my stupid sense of humor. Maybe I can get a cheap suit from Salvation Army and go as Mayhem?

For the record TJ, this is a direct quote from you in last years thread,



"Ram, I think anyone wearing a BRS shirt should get full points for a costume, just MHO. I am copying your picture to our BRS Top Model Thread. You have your model pose going on there. Looks like you are deep in thought. Ha!"



Just sayin...
 
And I stand by that statement

And I stand by that statement again this year. Sadly, I was overruled last year. :-(

Mike, I would say yes, but let's see if there is any opposition.

So looks like I'm doing the Forrest Gump thing. For the first time I'll be soliciting cries of "run Forest, run!" Of course, I'm not going with the waffle trainers, I'll be bare foot.

Wait, we started already? I though it was just for Halloween weekend?

But dude, that's a great costume. (dude, right? cause you're real pretty in the pic)

That IS a great costume, BUT unfortunatly we aren't starting till this Saturday morning at Midnight. We even expanded from last years 1 day to 3 days leading up to Halloween.

Nice!

I am too chicken to dress up. It's not that I am shy, I'm just not that creative, don't really have the time to make up a costume, and I'm very OCD and would worry about how the outfit would affect my performace. Sounds stupid I know, but that's me. I will be barefoot drinking in costume, these things I can do!
