I have been laughing outloud at these posters. one of my faves is the "You can do it Lisa! Don't Die!" I kind of needed that when I ran my first marathon back 2006. I would like to do another one & might need to challenge my family to come up w/ something clever like that. I could have used something to laugh about around mile 21! :) Oh, and your comment about the avg finish times made me feel alot better about mine... although it is still slower than Oprah, so I still have some work to do...

So, I ran up to her - got my kiss, then turned around and jogged the reverse direction about 20 yards, then ran up to her again and get a second kiss. When I turned to jog reverse of the crowd again (so I could come back for a third kiss) she exclaimed that she had now instituted a "Two Kiss Limit" and I had reached my limit! *grin* kestrou True Story: At my first Boston Marathon (2007) there was a gal at mile 25 holding a sign that said “Your mile 25 prize: a kiss!”
