I found it in the old post, IOU $20. Oh and did you run it in exactly my marathon finishing on purpose. No? Well really.

Fatty, that offer I made to you (I hesitate to call it a bet) was a one-way deal. I pay when you finish. Period.

If for some reason you *DON’T* finish, all you owe me is a couple of giggles, guffaws, or belly laughs as I read whatever cock-and-bull story you come up with and post here as to why.

Thanks for outlining all my reasons so clearly! You do have a lovely way with logic. And words.

“in spite of being a creaky and achy old man.”

Fatty…I’ll let YOU in on a little secret here: you are what, about to turn 43? Dude…you’ve just BEGUN to feel like a ‘creaky and achy old man’. I turn 50 this year and I can tell you this: all those crashes (and other stupid things you’ve done and thought you got away with uninjured)?? Well, you didn’t. They will ALL come back to haunt you. You WILL pay for them all, and the payments increase with age (so to speak). But hey…good luck this coming weekend…I truly hope it’s not an event you that you will pay for later. Time will tell. Run like the wind Buttercup!

lolololol. I see I am not the only fool. In January, with five previous marathons behind me (more than five years ago) I joined my daughter in the Walt Disney World marathon (her first)… me with no running training this time. My medical boot (which I have to wear 24/7 for at least another week) and I are laughing at you, but we do hope you fare better than we did. I died at mile 8 and they took my red face and me back to the hotel. …stretch your calves…
