Marathon Maniacs
Yes some have said it has been true for years, but now it is official - Kimberly and I are Maniacs! (to the theme of the Beverly Hillbillies) Marathon Maniacs that is, running fools, moving stars. Okay, that line wasn’t worth the attempt at humor was it? For some reason when I said “Maniacs, Marathon Maniacs that is” it made me think ….”and they moved to Beverly…, Hills that is, swimming pools, Movie Stars”. But then in practice trying to rhyme something to do with running didn’t wash out as well as I hoped. The ‘running fools’ is not bad for ‘Swimming Pools’ but the next bit trying to get close to ‘Movie Stars’….weak…
Anyway I digress. The MM is a group of nutcases that really are properly called Maniacs. We are far and away ‘Maniac lights’ among the Maniacs. They rank how ‘insane’ you are (yeah the list of members is called the “Insane Asylum”) based on how many Marathon’s (or Ultra’s) you run, how many back to back, in a year, how many states, countries, etc. From this you get stars assigned. There are some people that do nothing but run every weekend (at least) in different states and countries etc - it really is amazing. So while you can for sure call us Maniacs, you can’t call us crazy - go to the Maniac site, those are the crazy people…
Our maniac numbers are: Michael #2338 Kimberly #2339
