This post is more than a month over due, but … I officially own one of the 24 2008 Flying Pig marathon t-shirts purchased by Workaholic Runner as reported in his Double half marathon weekend post. The t-shirt fits just right and actually makes me look thin! Thanks, Workaholic Runner!

As far as the stats above, I beat them both in the ‘last weight’ and ‘waist’ categories!
The East and the West will finally clash on Saturday. Expect an all-out brawl. Who will come out victorious? Will the PacMan reign supreme? Will the Hitman become the new pound-4-pound king?
Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton poses at a news conference.
Thank goodness these two are in their best behavior. The trainers, on the other hand, are at each other’s throats…
