Because he is too shy to do this himself, I wanted to post that Annasbro will be running in the Boston Marathon this Monday April 16th at 10am EST. If you would like to follow his progress and cheer him on via the internet, go to http://www.bostonmarathon.org/ and search for participants under the last name of "Trimis". Because each runner has a tracking chip in there shoe, you will be able to see when he passes each checkpoint.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the sport of marathoning, it started back in ancient Greece when the Greeks suffered a major military defeat. One soldier was chosen to run back to the King's castle (26.2 miles away) and and inform him of the events. The soldier ran the distance nonstop, informed the King, and promptly dropped dead. And from this ignoble beginnings, someone years later decided to do it again...for fun (?!?). Heck, I get exhausted walking to the fridge for a beer.
On behalf of middle-aged fat guys everywhere, I say:
Go, Bro, go!
