What no Boston cap Mike? Oh I see you have moved on to little league baseball. Please don't try and cheat at that with your son and his sport. The other parents will be watching and will care.

Same "training" he did for Via. Don't drink and drive Mikey!

Creepy pic given that he probably had one of his kids take the pic as he sucked in his gut and tried to tighten up his "yellow" belly. Ewwww. Then photoshopped it like they did with Megan Trainor's video. Thanks for the confirmation of your undying need for self-validation.

True. Very creepy.
But if you're looking for a low-cost DJ within a 30 mile radius of Philadelphia, he is one of them.
McKeever wins.

Here are some upcoming McKeever events.....http://www.memracing.com/events-under-mgmt.html
Perhaps the Mikey will be as the DJ or with his photos booth and appletinis.

Some folks here are making one very huge assumption...
The wife and kids are actually with him.
Would they really miss school again? Little League? There is a real possibility the TRUE head of the household told him to hit the bricks for a few days...hopefully longer.

The real assumption is that he is not still here in Philly, which is where he is.

If Mike was doing as well as he claims then he would have gone on vacation over Memorial Day weekend, not trying to save a few bucks by going the week before prices go up.

If Cindy did kick Mike out, he would be on this site 24/7 with his own version of a scorched earth policy. Until he passed out from his 2nd lite beer.

Maybe she did help him cheat after all. One of two.

"Hey! Come here! I want to pretend I'm young and do a selfie with you! What? WHY? Er....um....no reason at all.... "
I love this.

Still no Boston gear, on the trails or at home. Did he finally give up the the charade?

He accidentally checked the box "Ship all of my items together" on the Adidas 2016 Boston Marathon Collection page. The 747 needed an engine upgrade before it could leave Germany. Russia feels sorry for him and may send help:

Aww look, he's at the time share again. No Boston gear to draw attention now either, guess his tail is even further between his legs. Note: school is still in, make sure that culinary arts education is ongoing.
That's his beefcake photo for the upcoming "Famous Cheaters in History Calendar." He's Mr. October... the month duck season starts in Pennsylvania.
In all fairness, he looked pretty buff in the photo. I'm not sure how he got rid of the gynecomastia that was apparent in other photos .. but looking good Mike .. looking good!
Anyhow, speaking of fairness, I think it's only fair to tell both sides of the story. We should look at all the evidence that Mike ran Via, and not just the evidence that he didn't.
Evidence for:
1. He took a selfie at the start
2. He was photographed at the finish
3. He said he ran the entire course
Now that I see it written down, I feel like I've been wrong all this time. Mike, please accept my apology for ever doubting you.

Don't forget: his bib was registered by the timing system at the start and finish.
If that statement wasn't written by Via for him I will personally pay for the next round at Starbucks for him. Mike is a perfect example of the old saying " you just have to be smarter than the door knob" .Barb of course being equal to the doorknob.

Looking at this blog, he must be really bad at math.
In the Philly Marathon section, he states:
"After the 20 mile mark and turnaround on Main street it was back onto Kelly Drive. My legs were very tired at this point, but my breathing was strong and I wasn't sweating at all. I finally looked at my GPS watch and saw that I was not far from another BQ!"
His splits are here:
http://live.xacte.com/templates/philadelphiamarathon.com/for-runners/race-resultsHis 30K split (18.642 miles) was 2:34:32 - 8:17 pace
To BQ with a 3:25 he needs to be at 7:49 pace. At this point he's nearly 30 seconds per mile off pace, but considers himself to be "not far from another BQ!"
He needed to be 2:25:45 to be on BQ pace - almost 9 minutes off pace. He would need to run the last 7.5+ miles in 6:40 pace to BQ at that point.
Alas, "Then, around mile 22 I had to use the bathroom�and that crushed any chance of a BQ. Bummer :("
If not for having to use the loo, he would have had ANOTHER BQ.
Good stuff.
A friend today called and asked me what I've been up to. I said not much, "I've been too busy reading about this 3:11 marathon cheat." He said, "How can there be thousands of posts" about it? I said it's just interesting.
I mean the guy's blog is a gold mine. In Philly, yeah, he was close to qualifying. No he was 27 SECONDS PER MILE BEHIND PACE AT 30K.
The problem is the average joe doesn't get what 27 seconds per mile is like. I think the bets way to explain it someone is 30 second per mile is roughly the difference between a pro man and pro woman. It would be sort of like Caroline Rotich's coach saying at 30k she was in line to win the men's Boston marathon.
Total joke.
Perusing some old messages today, this one's for you CHEATER MIKE ROSSI. Idiot.
