Reuters has a bizarre interview


Tuesday, February 19, 2008

tokyomarathonbjones.jpgReuters has a bizarre interview with Brian Jones, a banker who ran in the Tokyo Marathon this past weekend. Jones discusses some of the weirder aspects of urban marathon running such as soothing bloody nipples with vaseline and the "amazing" feeling of having "random people on the side of the street" with muscle sprays "start graffitiying the back of your leg." Jones also describes seeing a female runner complete the marathon "dressed as a nurse, or a maid." Sounds like I haven't been paying nearly enough attention to track and field. [Reuters]
