marathon

I hear it all the time, "there's nothing to do in Idaho". Well, that defiantly isn't the case if you are a runner or want to become a runner.

The Boston Marathon took off this morning and that got me thinking - If we had a marathon here...what would we call and and where would the course go?

Dozer, a three year-old golden doodle, ran most of the Maryland Half Marathon last week. Unbeknownst to his owners, Dozer broke free of his electric fence and joined up with the road race when its participants ran past his front yard -- which sat at about the five mile mark of the half marathon.

It was likely meant to be a joke, but nude marathon runner Brett S. Henderson wasn't laughing Sunday when he got tased by police officers and slapped with public indecency and obstructing official business charges. The 35-year-old Cincinnati resident was running -- sans clothes -- in Sunday's Flying Pig Marathon when police confronted him.
