I am running my first marathon in April at Boston. I qualified through a charity group. It has always been my dream to run at the race with the most prestige in America. Anyway does anyone know the best camera that I can use? I suppose I could just use my camera phone but I want the pictures to turn out really nice. My hometown newspaper said they might use some since I am the only person in my area that is going to be running Boston. Thanks! Any help is appreciated!
make sure that you practice how to hold your hands over your head and scream and wave to everyone. Boston is not for people to take pictures. why don't you go run the disney challenge and get your picture taken with goofy.
-1/10
Worst attempt I can recall in a long, long time, going way back to aught-one or two.

OMG I soo want to do that. Did you see the cute medal you get for doint it? But it's the Goofy Challenge not the disney challenge.
By the way I heard on the Runners world message board that I should put my name on my shirt so everyone will cheer for me. Do you guys do that too?

The quality of trolling has gone down significantly in recent years. I blame the public education system and lack of creative writing classes.
See, I think the mistake that most people make is that they don't take time to proof read or edit. You can't just type up a little story and hit post. You have to take the time to revise your opening sentence to really hook the reader...

While this is a pretty crappy trolling attempt, it still annoys me that the purple-people-eaters who were GRANTED ADMISSION via a charity group actually BELIEVE that they QUALIFIED for Boston.
Elitist? Probably.
However, in a competition with entry standards it seems like everyone who met said standards has a right to feel superior than those who did not.
The charities are just that, charity. They didn't earn squat.

Listen pal, I came on this board just to get a few questions answered and that's all I hear is troll this and troll that. I did QUALIFY. With the help of my friends I raised $5,000 for The Jimmy Fund. That QUALIFIES me to run Boston.
Just because you've never ran it before don't get your panties in a knot.
