The humiliation of running a marathon

Posted by Aki on Saturday, April 01, 2006 with
I have to wonder what was going through Speedygeoff's mind when he volunteered to pace the sub 4 hour group. Perhaps a side effect of runner's high? Perhaps too much red cordial? However since he has entered, and will be enduring the embarrassment of floating along with helium balloons, I believe he should be subjected to further humiliation, so out on a run yesterday I got thinking of a tune he could sing as he runs along with the insane group he is pacing.

Sung to the tune of Roger Ramjet

Speedygeoff and all his friends
are running sub 4 hours,
Don't run of course and lead your runners up to Telstra Tower.

Speedygeoff he's our man,
Speedygeoff's our hero,
If he can't do it no one can,
He'll run that sub 4 zero!
