Here's one thing that can go wrong when running a marathon with 43,000 others:
Every time I look at this I crack up. Luckily, there were some good shots that I'll share later. But this one screamed for its own post.
It also screamed to be the subject of my first-ever blog contest!
Here's how it works:
1. Look at the picture.
2. Use your cleverness to come up with a witty caption that makes me laugh out loud.
3. Post the caption in a comment.
These are the criteria I will use for selecting the winner:
1. The caption's effectiveness in making me laugh out loud. (Extra points awarded if it makes me spit out my coffee.)
2. That's it actually. The winning caption will be selected solely on how hard it makes me laugh.
What you will win:
That's right. I will send you a 24-pack of PowerBar gel. Your choice of flavor: Double Latte, Raspberry Cream, or Tangerine. (I'd even consider a mixed case.) What more could an endurance athlete want?!
You can enter as many times as you like, but each caption must be submitted as a separate comment. If you think you're not creative enough... Oh please, that's no excuse! If you're having a creative block, call upon your friends, significant others, training partners, BFFs in the caption-writing business. I'm sure you can come up with something.
Contest ends Saturday, November 14 at midnight EST. Winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
Good luck and make me laugh!
16 of you had something to say:
"How much for a full head shot?"
Anyone ever hear of the game "Simon says"... Well obviously these people didn't "Simon says...put your effin' hands down!!"
"Put your right hand in. Put your right hand out. . ."
"Look Mom, NO FACE!!!"
"Now crossing the finish line, Touchdown Jesus"
Thank you so much for letting me know that residual pain can occur after a stress fracture. Every so often I feel pain in my femur and I totally freak out. You give me so much hope since you came back from this injury and just finished the New York marathon. Congrats!!!
And here is my attempt at a funny comment for your photo "Hey, we are Leah's security...the paparazzi must get back...no pics today"
Sure, it cost a little more, but it was totally worth it to hire the bigfoot photographer. No really, that's *me*. . .honest.
"You don't understand officer we're not running from you....."
"Look, it's Katie Holmes running the NYC marathon - again." (or is it???)
It is so great that the race organizers got the Village People to perform at the finish line!
"Faces will be blocked to protect the innocent.....or the guilty"
"What do you mean you don't recognize me? Those are totally my knees!"
The techies are citing budget cuts again. Look, they won't even digitally blur this woman's face. They just got Susan from Accounting to stick her hand out.

(that one's a keeper --thanks for sharing :)
Labadger's comment made me laugh out loud if you want to know.
Ha!! That's great!! I'll think on this and see if I can come up with anything....
"Nice legs, shame about the......hand?"
