And no, that's not a typo -- that's the spelling as pronounced. I'm sure it was great if you were running, but standing in one spot in the rain for two hours made it VERY difficult to listen to. I think we decided to go have omelettes rather than listen to it anymore. I don't remember if we told Jeff we saw him go by or not -- Jeff, if we told you that, I'm very sorry but we may well have lied.

I mean, I don't think I accepted pants from a stranger until I was in my 20s. Life was so simple growing up in Seattle. As always, I feel like such a naive bumpkin around you Bay-area types.

Megan remembers the miserable wet day a few years ago that we spent completing the course. And ripping off pants and handing them to a stranger isn't much of a big deal at the Bay to Breakers.

I say this because some guy ran up to her, ripped off his sweat pants, then sprinted away in shorts without saying a word. She picked up the soggy sweats and continued hooting. If that guy was a stranger to her, there's a side to running that I sure don't know about.

Really, you'd think her voice would be going by now. But maybe she's been training for this marathon just like the runners--working out the pipes, if not the legs. Doug says she's not even cute.
