I am in Charlotte, NC on a business trip. At the Denver Airport today, I was putting myself back together after going through security and noticed the guy ahead of me had a "Chicago Marathon" luggage tag. So, knowing what happened last year (ungodly heat and a canceled race) at the Chicago Marathon, I asked him if he finished the Chicago Marathon. Well, he looked at me like I was the most intrusive person on earth and said "I never ran the Chicago Marathon."
Well, Excuuuuuuse me!
If you are carrying a bag with a Chicago Marathon luggage tag, shouldn't you have run the thing?
On another note, I see I have a "follower"! How cool! You Rock Marcy.
Do you think I will get around to running in downtown Charlotte? It COULD happen.
That guy was pretty rude - you were just asking about his luggage tag - not asking him to perform open heart surgery or anything.
ReplyDeleteI'm following you now too. :)
YES! run around downtown charlotte.
ReplyDeleteIm not even a big runner but I love the city AND running there!

What a jerk. GAH!
ReplyDeleteOhhh yeah I'm stalking all of you all LOL. I ditched my Blogroll in favor of the new dealy (so now all the blogs I read show up on my profile)
I agree. Some peeps are idjets. Especially those that have marathon tags on their bags and they didn't even race it!! LOL...
ReplyDeleteYes! Run in Charlotte!
B/c of what went down in Chicago last year (and b/c I was there, experiencing it), I think only those who finished have the right to sport that kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI gotta check out what Marcy is doing for her blogs now!
ReplyDeleteThat was rude of him!! :<(
I have a new question of etiquette. I didn't finish my HM. They did have a 5K and 10K. We all got the same shirts. I did run 6.3 miles). Can I wear the shirt or not?
ReplyDeleteBad etiquitte...but worse to be rude to you.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thing happen. Saw a guy with last year's Chicago Marathon shirt on in a resturanut. I walked up and said hi and asked him how he survived the heat. He got a little nervous and said, "well, uh, acutally, uh, I just worked at the expo selling stuff." He was nice...and honest. But...
How blinkin rude of that man... if he MUST have a bag claiming success then he ought to expect the question!
ReplyDelete... unless of course you're 6 years old and a family friend has just given you a bag (I've gave my event bag from last weekend to a friend's little boy!!)
