Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Woke up early this AM (at least, quite early for me) to the sound of... applause outside the window. Applause! What the heck? I looked outside to see the leaders of the Honolulu Marathon jogging by. Several neighbors were gathered on the street to cheer the folks on. They kept at it even when it was only the "also ran" crowd. By 10:30, when we left the house, there was a steady stream of folks running by and the applause had ceased. I suppose hands got tired after a while. Returning home at 3:00PM there were still some stragglers trudging by (not in front of the house but further down the course).
I recall being in Waikiki one year following the Marathon, watching participants doing "tourist stuff", still wearing their ID numbers. Talk about some zoned-out people. My guess is their glycogen levels were off-the-chart low and they were walking on autopilot. Sorry. Not something I would have ever tried, but I gotta admire those who do. YMMV
