This year's crazy stunt

[Iceman]

Greetings from Indiana! I haven't posted here for quite some time but I have been reading the posts. Before I begin to drone on I must say "Well done!" to YP on his GNR! From what I know of the event it sounds like you ran an excellent race. Congratulations!

I saw Nigel's name pop up today in my usual hang out (Hal Higdon's forum) and it reminded me of Andy and this forum, so I thought I'd share my "brilliant idea" for this year. While I'm not doing 4 or 5 maratrhons like last year I've decided to do two in two weeks. Chicago on Oct 10 and Detroit on the 24th. I actually toyed with the idea of hoping a plane after Detroit and flying to Dublin to run that one the next day. Luckily for me my oldest son started college this fall so my funding for crazy stunts just isn't what it use to be. That could be an option for next year though! I suppose I should see how my old bones react to two marathons in two weeks this year before attempting two in two days next year. The taper madness for Chicago is in full bloom right now and we're all about to climb out of our skin. I just keep telling myself "One more week. One more week. One more week."

So, if I survive this year's challenge I'll post a quick report on why rapidly aging men such as myself should always think on things for a few days before clicking that "Register Now" button.

Cheers
